Cracks in cement concrete composites, whether autogenous or loading-initiated, are almost
inevitable and often difficult to detect and repair, posing a threat to safety and durability of …

Smart concretes and structures are intelligent systems that have properties different from
normal concrete, such as self-sensing and self-healing properties, or have the ability to react …

Concrete is the second most used building material in the world after water. The problem is
that over time the material becomes weaker. As a response, researchers and designers are …

In this study, several aspects of autogenous and autonomous healing concrete are
discussed, including their characterization, processes, and performances. Mineral …

Cracking is inevitable in concrete and can seriously threaten the durability of the structures.
This paper proposed electric-induced in-situ synthesis of ettringite as a crack healing …

Aging concrete structures require rehabilitation to counteract deterioration due to
environmental and anthropogenic actions. Therefore, it is paramount to develop durable and …

The electrodeposition method for repair of cracked reinforced concrete is presented here.
Electrodeposition means precipitation of material on the surface of an electrode by …

Colloidal nanoparticles were electrokinetically transported into hardened cement paste
pores where they underwent chemical reactions resulting in reduced permeability. 20 nm …

Most concrete structures repaired using the electrochemical deposition method (EDM) are
not fully saturated in reality. To theoretically illustrate the deposition healing process by …

Cracks significantly deteriorate the in situ performance of concrete members and structures,
particularly tunnel structures embedded in saturated soft soils. To investigate the mechanical …
