2. Self-healing concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-healing_concrete

   Autogenous self-healing crack. Self-healing concrete is characterized as the capability of concrete to fix its cracks on its own autogenously or autonomously. It not only seals the cracks but also partially or entirely recovers the mechanical properties of the structural elements. This kind of concrete is also known as self-repairing concrete.

3. Filler (materials) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filler_(materials)

   Masonry filler is really a composite material named filler as it is used to repair cracks and holes in walls. It is typically made of cement and hydrated lime with fine aggregate as filler material. Manufacturers include Toupret. [10]

4. Basement waterproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basement_waterproofing

   Concrete is one of the most commonly used materials in home construction. When pockets of air are not removed during construction, or the mixture is not allowed to cure properly, the concrete can crack, which allows water to force its way through the wall. Foundations (footings) are horizontal pads that define the perimeter of foundation walls.

5. Self-healing material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-healing_material

   Upon cracking, these particles are exposed to oxygen, and in the presence of heat, they react to form new materials which fill the crack gap under volume expansion. [123] This concept has been proven using SiC to heal cracks in an Alumina matrix, [ 124 ] and further studies have investigated the high temperature strength, [ 125 ] and the static ...

6. Spackling paste - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spackling_paste

   Spackling paste or spackle is a putty used to fill holes, small cracks, and other minor surface defects in wood, drywall, and plaster. [1] [2] Typically, spackling is composed of gypsum plaster from hydrated calcium sulfate and glue.

   Nanoconcrete (also spelled "nano concrete"' or "nano-concrete") is a class of materials that contains Portland cement particles that are no greater than 100 μm [88] and particles of silica no greater than 500 μm, which fill voids that would otherwise occur in normal concrete, thereby substantially increasing the material's strength.
