ID No:180 ABSTRACT In this paper aims a thorough characterization will be performed of the effects of crystalline admixtures, currently employed as porosity reducing admixtures, on the self-healing capacity of the cementitious composites, i.e. their capacity to completely or partially re-seal cracks and, in case, also exhibit recovery of mechanical properties.In this paper aims a thorough chara...

Self-healing concrete has the potential to optimise traditional design approaches; however, commercial uptake requires ability harmonize against standardized frameworks. Within EU SARCOS COST Action, different interlaboratory tests were executed on self-healing techniques. This paper reports evaluation of effectiveness proposed experimental methodologies suited for with expansive mineral additi...

semiconducting carbon nanofibers (cnf) are prepared from three different sources, i.e., acetylene, ethanol, and cotton by the chemical vapor deposition (cvd) process. these fibers are having rich elastic, engineering and conductivity properties. fresh self-compacting concrete (scc) flows into place and around obstructions under its own weight to fill the formwork completely and self-compact, wi...

Self-healing technologies provide the long-term resilience of concrete structures by enabling self-diagnose and self-repair damages (aging cracks, cyclic load damages, corrosion-induced cracks). However, self-healing require special additives materials in addition to ones conventional concrete. Hence, it is often perceived have higher environmental impacts, therefore, necessary understand same....

ID No : ACM-01 ABSTRACT In the last decade, an increasing attention has been given to the development of repairing capabilities in materials, with an emphasis in specific strategies that can promote self-healing, with or without external triggers. Self-healing has opened several new possibilities, especially in applications where long-term reliability is demanded and either maintenance or repla...
