The most desirable features of concrete structures are prolonged durability and
serviceability. Though, cement-based structures exhibit outstanding mechanical and …

This work introduces a theoretical framework for continuum damage and healing mechanics
by extending stress decomposition to account for tensile, compressive, and shear stresses …

An innovative capsule using steel slag as the primary core material complemented by
chitosan as a secondary core material was developed. Steel slag exhibited virtually no …

Self-healing concrete using encapsulated healing agent has shown great potential in
enhancing concrete durability. However, the capsules are expensive to make and can lower …

Bacterial concrete is considered an effective self-healing material due to its capacity to
repair damages such as cracks autonomously throughout microbially induced calcium …

To improve the self-healing performance of cementitious materials and minimize the
negative impact of self-healing materials on mortar, a novel type of double-layer capsules is …

Urbanization and demographic growth have led to increased global energy consumption in
recent years. Furthermore, construction products and materials industries have contributed …

Abstract Self-healing Metal Matrix Composites (SHMMCs) have emerged as an important
field of research in materials engineering. This paper critically examines the current state of …

One-dimensional structured fillers play a crucial role in promoting the rapid and
spontaneous healing of defects induced by damage in self-healing coatings. This innovative …

The main weakest point of concrete is its exposure to cracks, and concrete structure repair is
expensive, especially for infrastructure maintenance, which is difficult to access. The ability …
