Self-Healing Concrete Research in the European Projects SARCOS and SMARTINCS

Part of the RILEM Bookseries book series (RILEM,volume 34)

Abstract

Self-healing concrete and preventive repair of structures will slow down the development of cracks and/or arrest the ingress of aggressive agents. When the cracks are closed or a decrease in crack width is achieved, this will be associated with improved durability of the structure. This paper describes the literature review and inter-laboratory comparison carried out within the COST Action CA15202 (SARCOS), as well as the research planned within the recently started International Training Network SMARTINCS.

Keywords
