| Abstract [eng] |
In this Master‘s final work self-healing concrete was analyzed and tested by using different methodologies. The final work consists of theoretical and experimental parts. In theoretical part analysed methodology and operation principles of self-healing concrete nad conditions that are necessary for it. The causes of cracking of concrete structures, impact of cracks on concrete structures and the applicability of self-healing concrete were analysed as well. Methods to determine the efficiency of self-healing concrete were discussed. The experimental part investigates self-healing concrete modified with mineral additives. The influence of additives on concrete mixture and hardened concrete samples was determined. The tests were carried out by creating non-standard cracks in samples. The effectiveness of crack sealing was determined by using water permeability and water absorbtion tests. Results of crack recurrence and conclusions are presented. |
