Project description
Self-healing is a promised technology to improve the durability of concrete structures. The research describes how self-healing concrete behaves in different aggressive conditions, such as frost salt scaling, chemical attacks and water pressure. The extreme conditions will be applied during and after healing, and the latter will provide information on the durability of the healed material.
