This work presents an overview of the most relevant studies developed to understand the
enhancement promoted by the double effect of the crystalline admixtures (CAs), both as …

The cementitious capillary crystalline waterproofing materials (CCCW), which can generate
crystals filling the cracks and pores of concrete by means of the permeation and …

Crystalline admixture (CA) has garnered attention as a promising self-healing agent for
cementitious composites. This paper aims to provide a compressive review on the effects of …

Self-healing of concrete is the process in which the material regenerates itself repairing
inner cracks. This process can be produced by autogenous or autonomous healing …

Microbial-induced corrosion of ordinary Portland cement concrete due to its low biogenic
acid resistance is still a global concern, requiring scientists to develop sustainable …

A sustainable community requires concrete infrastructures to have a longer service life to
reduce solid wastes produced by reconstruction, while cracks shorten the service life by …

This paper evaluates in the short-and long-term the healing products in cementitious
systems with a crystalline admixture (CA) healing stimulator and polypropylene (PP) fibers in …

Crystalline admixtures (CAs), categorized as permeability-reducing admixtures, are
commercial products employed in low contents in cement-based materials either to improve …

In cold regions, hydraulic concrete structures are exposed to harsh environmental conditions
that greatly impact their durability and safety. The role of aggregates in influencing concrete …

The use of industrial waste and/or by-products as alternative sources of raw materials in
building materials has become standard practice. The result, more sustainable construction …
