Description

Design code prescritpions on the service life of ordinary reinforced concrete structures may be difficult to be fulfilled in highly aggressive environments, in which premature degradation of the structural performance is most likely to occur. In these situations, in order to avoid expensive repair activities, advanced systems such as self-healing concrete could be adopted. In the last decade, researchers started to look at this functionality as a way to solve degradation problems in chloride-laden environments.
