Abstract

Microcapsule-enabled self-healing concretes are appealing due to the advantages of self-healing and the potential for controllable quantifiable healing on a large scale with little initial damage. The damage-healing mechanics and discrete element method (DEM) are emerging as increasingly adopted approaches for investigating the damage phenomenon of materials. Based on experimental results, a two-dimensional micromechanical damage-healing model and a 3D discrete element model of microcapsule-enabled self-healing cementitious materials are proposed. The healing effect on microcrack-induced damage can now be predicted quantitatively by its microscopic healing mechanism. Subsequently, different system parameters of the microcapsule-enabled self-healing concrete, such as the radius and volume fraction of microcapsules, fracture toughness of healing agents, and initial damage, are investigated. In particular, the proposed damage-healing models demonstrate the potential capability to explain and simulate the physical behavior of microcapsule-enabled self-healing materials at multi-scales.
