Aqueous carbonation-induced self-healing of UHPFRC: Role of sulfur/magnesium-rich expansive agents in crack closure and mechanical restoration
Key Points
Mechanical restoration is achieved through self-healing mechanisms involving crack closure.
The use of sulfur and magnesium-rich expansive agents significantly enhances the self-healing process.
Aqueous carbonation plays a crucial role in facilitating the healing of cracks.
This study highlights the potential for improved durability in UHPFRC applications.
