The cementitious capillary crystalline waterproofing materials (CCCW), which can generate
crystals filling the cracks and pores of concrete by means of the permeation and …

Concrete is the most used construction material for years. However long term serviceability
is an issue, when we focus on sustainable building and use of materials. In long term service …

Crack formation under tensile forces is a major weakness of concrete. Cracks make concrete
vulnerable to extreme environment due to ingress of water and harmful compounds from …

Crystallization-based waterproofing is a multi-functional technology which combines
hygroscopic and hydrophilic crystallization pore blocking with hydrophobic pore lining. This …

The durability of a cement-based material is mainly dependent on its permeability.
Modifications of porosity, pore-structure and pore-connectivity could have significant impacts …

In this study glass fibre reinforced concrete (GRC) with and without polymer was used as
base material to evaluate concrete self-healing enhanced by crystalline admixture. GRC …

Concrete structures and pavements are subjected to various durability problems associated
with moisture penetration through the pores and the capillary networks. Published data on …

Repairing concrete structures costs billions of dollars every year all around the globe. For
overcoming durability concerns and creating enduring economical structures, chemical …

Concrete porosity and moisture penetration create several durability problems. The recent
industrial solutions are based on the use of integral waterproofing materials. This paper …

The use of recycled aggregate concrete is mainly negatively affected by its poorer
mechanical and long-term properties. However, there are few structural applications for …
