Development of Microcapsule-based Self-healing, High-strength Engineered
Cementitious Composites (SHHS-ECC) |
摘要: |
The durability of High-strength engineered cementitious composites (HS-ECC) is severely challenged once cracks are formed in a HS-ECC structural member, especially for those exposed to harsh environments (e.g., laden with chloride or sulfates). In this context, the goal of this project is to design a self-healing HS-ECC by virtue of microcapsules encapsulating healing agent. The multi-scale self-healing ability of the HS-ECC will be achieved through the combined use of microcapsules and continuous hydration of cementitious materials, so as to maintain the superior durability of HS-ECC. To this end, this exploratory laboratory investigation aims to:
(1) identify the mix designs of HS-ECC incorporating microcapsules, based on the micromechanics theory
(2) evaluate the self-healing effectiveness of HS-ECC, in terms of restoration level of tensile and transport properties
(3) study the effect of crack width and pre-cracking age on the self-healing efficiency of HS-ECC. |
