The efficiency of self-healing concrete using alternative manufacturing procedures and more realistic crack patterns Vrije Universiteit Brussel Ghent University
During the last years, more and more research has been devoted to self-healing in cementitious materials. However, while most research is still done at laboratory scale, the feasibility of up scaling and thus practical application of the proposed mechanisms becomes important. In the current study, the resistance of brittle encapsulation materials, containing polyurethane, against the mixing and manufacturing process of concrete was studied. ...
