Waste material disposal is considered as a difficult issue to adopt in current world. Waste metal, which has been recognised as a major problem in the environment and resource deficiency, could have important implications in the concrete construction...

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...

This study presents the encapsulation of mineral compounds as healing materials for cement-based composites. Three liquid (sodium silicate, colloidal silica and tetraethyl orthosilicate) and one powdered (magnesium oxide) minerals were encapsulated i...
