Book Synopsis

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, prop
