Influence of expansive minerals on the self-healing of cement paste and mortar systems (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Qureshi, T., & Al-Tabbaa, A. (2015). Influence of expansive minerals on the self-healing of cement paste and mortar systems. In Fifth International Conference of Self-healing Materials, Durham, NC (U.S.A.)

Expansive minerals have great prospects for improving the self-healing capacity of concrete. Once a crack start propagating, an embedded unhydrated expansive mineral could hydrate and expand hence bridging and healing the cracks. This study investiga...
