Abstract: Extensive testing has shown that externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates are particularly suited for improving the short-term behavior of deficient reinforced concrete beams. Accelerated fatigue ...

Abstract: Considerable interest has been directed in recent years toward the use of self-healing materials in concrete. The concept of microcapsule healing is based on a healing agent being encapsulated and embedded in the concrete. ...

Abstract: This paper presents an evaluation of dual self-healing mechanisms in concrete, with a focus on the application of microcapsules and shape memory alloy (SMA). To achieve this objective, the study evaluated the self-healing ...
