Performance of epoxy resin as self-healing agent
Formation of cracks due to the shrinkage effects during curing and mechanical loading can deteriorate the concrete performance especially in terms of durability aspect. Chemical and harsh solutions will easily penetrate into the concrete and cause damage to the concrete. In order to solve this probl...

Formation of cracks due to the shrinkage effects during curing and mechanical loading can deteriorate the concrete performance especially in terms of durability aspect.

In contrast, this paper presents the study on performance of epoxy resin without hardener as a self-healing agent in concrete.
