Crack healing is an effective way to recover the mechanical properties and improve the
durability of concrete. This can be achieved either by autogenous healing or adding healing …

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 …

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), including industrial by-products or natural
pozzolans are widely used as a partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in …

Silicone hydrophobic powder (SHP) and crystalline waterproofing admixture (CWA) were
used to improve the impermeability of carbon black (CB)/cement-based sensors. The …

Among the ways to counter the effects of concrete cracking, self-healing appears to be very
promising. This research aims to appraise the effect of autogenous and autonomous self …

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

Concrete is a building material that withstands environmental actions for centuries.
Development of concrete technologies enables building up the lightweight, slender, and …

Bacteria-based self-healing concrete is a construction material used to repair cracks in
concrete, in which the bacterial spores are immobilized by bacteria carriers. However, the …

Concrete with two types of steel fibres and a polypropylene fibre prevented spalling and
preserved the compressive strength at 300° C, which makes these concretes suitable for …

This study aims to introduce Bacillus Cohnii endospores into an alkali-activated fly ash-
based composite (AAFC) to improve the crack-healing properties and durability while …
