Cracks in concrete are inevitable and for durability reasons, the cracks should be repaired.
Concrete has the intrinsic property to heal itself. But, the passive form of autogenous healing …

In this paper, mechanisms of self-healing in cementitious materials, ie autogenous self-
healing, self-healing based on mineral admixtures, self-healing based on bacteria and self …

Autogenous healing of cracks may offer a solution for brittle cementitious materials. In this
study, the healing building blocks are available through the well-designed ultra-ductile …

This study investigated the formation of different phases and their influence on the
microstructural and mechanical development of carbonated reactive MgO cement …

The mining industry is globally criticized for generating large amount of solid wastes often
with a potential environmental impact. This study presents a feasible approach of recovering …

Cracks in concrete structures can serve as pathways for aggressive chemical substances
that can lead to a progressive deterioration of the cement stone as well as of the …

This paper builds on previous self-healing engineered cementitious composites (ECC)
research by allowing ECC to heal outdoors, in the natural environment, under random and …

To investigate effect of carbonization on pore structure and splitting tensile strength, splitting
tensile tests were subjected to normal concrete and basalt-polypropylene fiber hybrid …

Lightweight concrete is a special type of concrete with low density and advanced insulation,
mainly produced using lightweight aggregates or a cellular matrix. Concrete material made …

Concrete is a multi-phase heterogeneous material in which the interfacial transition zone
(ITZ) between aggregates and mortar significantly affects the cracking behaviour of concrete …
