Investigating a new method to assess the self-healing performance of hardened cement pastes containing supplementary cementitious materials and crystalline admixtures
The autogenous healing of cementitious materials allows for the self-healing of cracks in concrete structures. It is known to be caused by (a) further hydration occurring when water penetrating the crack reacts with the unreacted binder on the crack face and (b) calcite precipitation resulting from...
