Objective: The aim of this paper is to investigate self-healing in cementitious materials with
saturated Ca (OH) 2 solution as a healing agent, supplied by using capsules and a vascular …

Autonomic self-healing cementitious materials generally rely upon the transport of
adhesives via capillary flow in discrete cracks to heal macro-cracks. A series of experimental …

Based on microcapsule technology, a new type of self-healing system for concrete materials
was created, which mainly focuses on the corrosion protection of steel bars. In this paper …

In this paper, different mechanisms of self-healing, ie self-healing based on adhesive
agents, self-healing based on bacteria, self-healing based on autogenous self-healing were …

In our study, we found cold drawing to be an effective method for enhancing the pullout
resistance of NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) fibers in concrete. The pullout resistance was …

In the current research, a mathematical model for bacterial self-healing of a crack is
considered. The study is embedded within the framework of investigating the potential of …

Cracks, especially microcracks, in concrete are of paramount importance to the durability
and the service life of cementitious composite. However, the self-healing technology …

Cracks can deteriorate mechanical properties and/or durability of concrete. A few studies
have shown that, cracks can autogenously heal under a certain conditions besides the …

Self-healing of cracks has a significant potential to extend the service life of concrete
structures and reduce economic, social and environmental costs [5]. Motivated by these …

The construction of tunnels is booming in China in recent decades. However, the
degradation of concrete lining in tunnels seems inevitable, and the challenges in the repair …
