  Experimental Study of Self –Healing in Reinforced Concrete Flexural Elements

  By Chandra Mouli Vemury, Marco Corradi, Bhavesh Patel

  Abstract: Concrete structural elements undergo cracking under tensile stresses which can adversely affect the performance of these members. The increased availability of design solutions facilitating the self-healing of the cracked concrete elements can lead to the enhancement of the service life of concrete structures. This paper presents the findings of an experimental study where shape memory materials such as Constantan and Nitinol wires have been used in flexural concrete elements. Tests …
