[ES] La presencia de pequeñas fisuras en el hormigón armado suele ser inevitable. Esto se debe a su baja resistencia a tracción en comparación con su resistencia a compresión. Estas fisuras pueden dar paso a agentes agresivos ...
[EN] Autogenous healing is mainly produced by continuing hydration or carbonation. The aim of this research is to quantify the crack closing produced by autogenous healing for early-age concrete. This healing was evaluated ...
[EN] The appearance of cracks in structural reinforced concrete is inevitable and when out of control, it can be the cause of concrete failure. The ingress of water and harmful substances via the cracks is critical as the ...

[ES] El hormigón es considerado como uno de los principales materiales de construcción más ampliamente utilizado en obras de infraestructuras. Su consideración como material de gran durabilidad y su ventajosa relación ...
[EN] This paper brings a new insight into understanding the influence of macrocapsules in packing systems, which can be useful in designing the inert structure of self-healing concrete. A variety of tubular macrocapsules, ...
