...Qiulin Wu; Xue Gao; Xiaoyi Zhang; Shuyin Wu; Runfan Bu Engineered cementitious composites ( ECC ) still face the issue of limited self-healing ability, even with their superior crack control capability. In this work, in an attempt to improve the self-healing properties of ECC, superabsorbent...

... of application, environmental compatibility and cost effectiveness. Recent studies have increasingly recognised the potential of CCCW to impart self-healing functionality to concrete. This review systematically examines recent advances in CCCW-based self-healing concrete, covering the fundamental composition...

In this study, the water...

...Mehdi Esfandi Sarafraz; Motahareh Nezafat Tabalvandani The effects of two different bacteria species on the strength, durability, and microstructure of self-healing concrete were compared. A new wild-type calcifying strain, extracted from agricultural soil of Gilan province, Iran, was used...

...Shahin Zokaei; Hocine Siad; Mohamed Lachemi; Obaid Mahmoodi; Mustafa Şahmaran No research has been reported on the self-healing performance of engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) prepared with super-sulfated cement (SSC), despite its potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions compared...

...He-Xiang Wu; Wen-Xu Yang; Shuang-Xin Li; Yun-Peng Zhao; Quan-Sheng Sun The effects of different dosages of expanded perlite (as a carrier for bacteria) and nanosilica on the strength and self-healing properties of cement mortar were investigated. The strengths of specimens at different curing ages...

... applications, microcapsules are usually used for the self-healing of concrete, asphalt and cementitious materials. Concrete and cement are widely used in civil engineering and are the predominant construction materials worldwide. The objective of this study was to design and produce urea–formaldehyde...
