Project description

Self-Healing is a promising technology to improve the durability of concrete structures. The research

 

aims at describing both the environmental and economic profile through the development of Life Cycle

Assessment and Life Cycle Cost analysis. These methodologies are then presented as integral part

 

of the design phase to also account for the structural and durability performance of the material.
