| Abstract [eng] |
Concrete is a vital building material that is an absolutely essential component of public infrastructure and most buildings. Macro and micro cracks form a serious threat on concrete strength therefore on construction lifetime. Due water penetration and humidity that seek through this crack to steel reinforcement and cause its corrosion. To handle this threat a major important is given nowadays to improve resistance of concrete for this micro and macro crack by adding crystalline additives or bacteria to concrete mixture that can self-heal these concrete cracks. In our work are studying the influent of crystalline additives on physical and mechanical properties of concrete, also the effect of healing using pipe method, strength recovery, limit of healing process and the dimension of crack that could be healed in the presence of this additives. |
