Wu, Xintong (author), Huang, Haoliang (author), Liu, Hao (author), Hu, Jie (author), Wei, Jiangxiong (author), Yu, Qijun (author)In this study, a new concept on self healing of cracks that the ingressive ions in the crack is chemically bound to improve the self-healing efficiency was proposed for cracked cementitious materials in a marine environment. Thermodynamic modeling was performed to determine the appropriate masses and ratio of Ca2+ and Al3+ provided by chemical...conference paper 2021

(author), Yu, Qijun (author), Lothenbach, Barbara (author)New self-healing agents that can chemically bind seawater ions invading cracked cementitious materials were proposed. The potential of self-healing and binding of seawater ions were investigated by thermodynamic modeling. It was found that CaO-NaAlO<sub>2</sub> and CaO-metakaolin agents can have Cl<sup>−</sup>, SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2−</sup> and...journal article 2021
