Mix design optimisation of self-sealing concrete containing microcapsules with polyurethane shell and water repellent cargo

Despite the robust ability of microcapsules (MIC) to break and release agent for healing/sealing efficacy, the reduction of concrete strength has been a major issue when using MIC. In this study, the optimisation of concrete mix design was initiated with employing three main parameters: MIC size (56...
