Self-Healing as Preventive Repair of Concrete Structures

 

Project no.: CA15202

Project description:

In the construction industry sector, concrete crystalline or bacterial additives are used more and more, which allow self-healing of cracks that appear in concrete during its exploitation, but the methodology for testing the properties of such concrete has not yet been fully developed. In the Cost CA15202 project international interlaboratory research on the self-healing of concrete and its efficiency evaluation was carried out. The results of which were published in scientific journals.

Project funding:

COST actions


Project results:

The experimental scientific results obtained with the colleagues of this project on methods for evaluating the efficiency of self-healing concrete were published in 2021 in the scientific journal Materials – “Evaluation of Methodologies for Assessing Self-Healing Performance of Concrete with Mineral Expansive Agents: An Interlaboratory Study”.
