| Summary: | The crystalline admixture in self-healing concrete is the main topic of a comprehensive
literature review presented in this final year project. The purpose of this review is to
identify the effect of crystalline admixture inclusion on self-healing concrete. The
review also identifies the knowledge gaps in the application of crystalline admixture for
self-healing concrete and evaluates the performance of crystalline admixture in selfhealing
concrete. For information's future reference, self-healing concrete can
automatically repair the crack without any outside assistance to regain strength and
durability. Yet, the formation of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) gel will enhance the
self-healing helped to fill the crack. Therefore, there were 18 articles had been
identified in this review from the Scopus and ScienceDirect database. Systematic
searching strategies had been used to screen out irrelevant articles and the article
quality assessment was also used to avoid publications of poor methodological quality.
In this review, the effect and performance of crystalline admixture were discussed.
Results indicated that the healing reaction of the concrete is influenced by the hydration
process of the concrete cracks. The effectiveness of the inclusion of crystalline
admixture was then examined, and the findings revealed that the conditions of water
immersion, water contact, and wet/dry performance performed better than the healing
condition of open-air exposure. Crystalline admixture materials are used as hydrophilic
materials because of how quickly they react with water. The density of calcium silicate
hydrate (C-S-H) is further increased, which prevents or reduces water penetration. |
