Self-healing concrete and preventive repair of structures will slow down the development cracks and/or arrest ingress aggressive agents. When are closed or a decrease in crack width is achieved, this be associated with improved durability structure. This paper describes literature review inter-laboratory comparison carried out within COST Action CA15202 (SARCOS), as well research planned recent...

Abstract The development of self-healing concrete (SHC) is intensively implemented to improve stability and reduce maintenance costs. However, the experiments require many parameter variations, increasing cost. Taguchi methods are used in experimental design obtain variations optimal parameters cost experiment. stages this study secondary data collection increase compressive strength, testing m...

The creation of smart self-healing materials and preventativerepair techniques is required due to the growing concern for safety sustainability buildings. Although development microcracks rarely affects a building's structural qualities, increased permeability caused by microcrack networking poses significant threat durability concrete structures increasing likelihood that aggressive will enter...
