Perspectives on the incorporation of self‐healing in the design practice of reinforced concrete structures

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Self‐healing concrete, with its ability to autonomously repair damages, holds promise in enhancing its structural durability and resilience. Research on self‐healing concrete in the past decade has advanced in understanding the mechanisms behind healing, exploring various healing agents, and assessing their effectiveness in concrete structures.
