Evaluation of self-healing crack repair sticks for enhanced durability, sealing, and stiffness recovery of concrete

To promote autogenous healing, a new approach involving the use of a crack repair stick is proposed. The sticks contain mixtures based on cement, crystalline admixtures (CA), expansive agents (EA) and superabsorbent polymers (SAP) and are applied to a cracked concrete surface. A wet/dry curing perio...
