Self-healing efficiency of cement-based materials containing extruded cementitious hollow tubes filled with bacterial healing agent
English
The intensive use of cement-based building materials is a growing concern in terms of environment...al impact, since they significantly contribute to the global anthropogenic CO2 emissions.
Development and commercialization of self-healing concrete is hampered due to a lack of standardi...zed test methods. Six inter-laboratory testing programs are being executed by the EU COST action SARCOS, each focusing on test methods for a specific self-healing technique.
