An Analytical Approach for Self-Healing Capability of Cementitious and Polymeric Materials

Kasim A. Korkmaz, Luay Al-Durzi

Abstract


A self-healing phenomenon is one of the popular alternative solutions that can be integrated with the concrete industry. Self-healing concrete can be defined as a concrete that can heal cracks and generate in the concrete structure by using healing agents mixed with the base materials or integrated with the concrete matrix during its production. So, in the literature, there are various research works with different types of self-healing concrete that have been developed such as polymer modified concrete, fly-ash concrete, silica fume concrete, and bio-concrete. The purpose of this research is to investigate the optimum type of self-healing concrete that can be utilized in the construction industry with several existing results collected from different experimental results for the concrete compression strength. Modulus of elasticity (E) and the beam deflection values for different types of self-repairing materials “cementitious and polymeric” are analytically determined according to different design codes from all over the world. With the analysis results, the best healing agent that can be used in the construction industry from a structural perspective is determined.
