TL;DR: In this paper, the state-of-the-art of self-healing concrete is provided, covering autogenous or intrinsic healing of traditional concrete followed by stimulated autogenous healing via use of mineral additives, crystalline admixtures or (superabsorbent) polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
A survey on problems encountered in current concrete construction and the potential benefits of self-healing cementitious materials.
TL;DR: In this article, a market research exercise was conducted by the Materials for Life (M4L) EPSRC funded research project to investigate the impact of cracks in concrete structures on the economic, environmental and social impact of repair and maintenance events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large Scale Application of Self-Healing Concrete: Design, Construction and Testing
Robert Davies,Oliver Teall,Martins Pilegis,Antonios Kanellopoulos,Trupti Sharma,Anthony Duncan Jefferson,Dianne R Gardner,Abir Al-Tabbaa,Kevin Paine,Robert John Lark +9 more
TL;DR: The work reported in this paper was carried out as part of the EPSRC funded project Materials for Life (M4L), reference EP/K026631/1 and supported with PhD studentship funding from Costain Group PLC.
Journal ArticleDOI
A shape memory polymer concrete crack closure system activated by electrical current
Oliver Teall,Martins Pilegis,Robert Davies,John Sweeney,Tony Jefferson,Robert John Lark,Diane Ruth Gardner +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, shape memory polymers (SMPs) are used to produce a compressive stress across the crack faces to enhance the load recovery associated with autogenous self-healing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and characterization of iron-molybdate thin films
John J. Uhlrich,Jani Sainio,Yu Lei,David Hughes Edwards,Robert Davies,Michael Bowker,Shamil K. Shaikhutdinov,Hans-Joachim Freund +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, Mo deposition onto Fe3O4 (111) thin films produced on Pt(111) as a function of Mo coverage and annealing temperature using LEED, AES, STM and IRAS.
