Effect of self-healing calcium nitrate microcapsules on concrete properties
Milla, Jose; Hassan, Marwa M.; Rupnow, Tyson; Al-Ansari, Mohamed; Arce, Gabriel ( National Research Council , 2016 , Article)Self-healing concrete with microencapsulated calcium nitrate was investigated. The compressive strength of concrete admixed with microcapsules (as a percentage of the weight of the cement) was tested and compared with that ... -
Microencapsulation of calcium nitrate for concrete applications
Hassan, Marwa M.; Milla, Jose; Rupnow, Tyson; Al-Ansari, Mohamed; Daly, William H. ( National Research Council , 2016 , Article)The use of encapsulating healing agents that allow the self-healing of concrete has emerged as a potential solution to the current decay and costly maintenance of concrete infrastructure; however, many healing agents are ... -
Performance of modified self-healing concrete with calcium nitrate microencapsulation
Al-Ansari, Mohammed; Abu-Taqa, Ala G.; Hassan, Marwa M.; Senouci, Ahmed; Milla, Jose ( Elsevier Ltd , 2017 , Article)This study investigates the strength reduction associated with incorporating calcium nitrate microcapsules in concrete. It also proposes modifications to the calcium nitrate micro encapsulation procedure to minimize the ...
