Reihe: Emerging Materials and Technologies

Climate change is anticipated to have a major impact on concrete structures through increasing rates of deterioration and the impact of extreme weather events. The repair of any damage will be highly labor-intensive and expensive. Self-healing cementitious materials can enable the construction industry to mitigate these effects and move toward greater sustainability, safety, and increased cost savings and efficiency.
This book:

- Examines concrete structures based on various materials with self-repair capability and their implications for future use in sustainable projects.

- Discusses advantages and design strategies of self-healing concretes.

- Covers several effective and detailed self-repair methods, with comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

- Examines the use of various materials, including polymers and nanomaterials.

- Reviews factors affecting performance, properties, and applications.

- Delves into future directions and opportunities.

Written for researchers, advanced students, and industry professionals, Self-Healing Cementitious Materials: Technologies, Evaluation Methods, and Applications offers a detailed view of an important emerging technology in materials science, civil engineering, and related fields.
