آیا مکانیسم خودمراقبتی به سازه های بتنی پایدار کمک می کند؟

This paper presents inherent autogeneous healing which occur due to its heterogeneous nature of concrete. This contribution also demonstrates some laboratory proven bio-inspired techniques that makes concrete materials and/or structural element self-healing autonomously. It involved diverse methods across several categories. The methods designed have demonstrated to have a good prospect in making concrete structural element self-healing. Finally the paper concludes with the claim that If unavoidable cracks due to inherent brittleness in concrete could be self- sealed/healed/repaired, concrete structure will certainly serve longer service life, making it more durable, therefore sustainable.
