Experimental study of natural self-healing of hydraulic concrete at different pre-damage ages by Yuchen Fu, Yaoying Huang, Jin Yu, Zepeng Li, Chen Fang, Huaizhi Su

“…Given the large number of unhydrated cement particles in C30 two-graded concrete of typical Chinese dam concrete and that the age of cracks appearing in hydraulic concrete structures often exceeds 28 days, we designed and implemented indoor self-healing tests at various concrete pre-damage ages (3, 7, 14, 28, 45, 60, and 90 days) to investigate the natural self-healing of hydraulic concrete as a function of pre-damage age. The percent growth Rsh in compressive strength and the crack-healing rate ξ after 28 and 60 days of continuous standard curing (20 ± 2 °C, relative humidity ≥95 %) or non-flowing water curing were measured by using cube specimens with different pre-damage ages. …”
