Abstract: The success of self-healing cementitious materials relies on their ability to repeatedly heal over the lifetime of the material. Vascular networks have a distinct advantage over other self-healing techniques whereby the ...

Abstract: Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is increasingly being explored as a potential ground improvement mechanism, both for improved mechanical performance and groundwater control. However, the formation of a ...

Abstract: Capillary flow through discrete cracks is the main mechanism by which healing agents embedded in cementitious matrices travel to zones of damage to afford the host matrix a healing ability. However, the nature of the ...
