Climate change is anticipated to have a major impact on concrete structures through increasing rates of deterioration and the impact of extreme weather events. The repair of any damage will be highly labor-intensive and expensive. Self-healing cementitious materials can enable the construction industry to mitigate these effects and move toward greater sustainability, safety, and increased cost savings and efficiency.
This book:
- Examines concrete structures based on various materials with self-repair capability and their implications for future use in sustainable projects.
- Discusses advantages and design strategies of self-healing concretes.
- Covers several effective and detailed self-repair methods, with comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
- Examines the use of various materials, including polymers and nanomaterials.
- Reviews factors affecting performance, properties, and applications.
- Delves into future directions and opportunities.
Written for researchers, advanced students, and industry professionals, Self-Healing Cementitious Materials: Technologies, Evaluation Methods, and Applications offers a detailed view of an important emerging technology in materials science, civil engineering, and related fields.
