Study of the feasibility of self-healing Concrete with and without crystalline admixtures
[EN] Self-healing concrete is able to recover completely or partially its properties after being damaged (usually by cracking). This work studies the effect on self-healing of introducing a crystalline admixture into concrete. The focus has been made in analyzing cracks of different sizes (up to 0.4...

| Sumario: | [EN] Self-healing concrete is able to recover completely or partially its properties after being damaged (usually by cracking). This work studies the effect on self-healing of introducing a crystalline admixture into concrete. The focus has been made in analyzing cracks of different sizes (up to 0.4 mm) produced at early ages of concrete and the effectiveness of the healing process under several exposures. The properties that have been analyzed, before and after the healing process, are permeability of cracked specimens and visual closure of the crack. |
