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. Concrete pavement restoration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_Pavement_Restoration

   Dowel bar retrofit (DBR) is a process that re-establishes load transfer capability on joints and cracks by installing epoxy-coated, round steel dowels into existing concrete pavement across transverse joints and/or cracks. Slots are cut using diamond-tipped saw blades; the existing concrete is removed and the dowels are placed in the slots ...

4. Concrete degradation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_degradation

   It is the considerable forces internally created by the expansion of the iron corrosion products (about 6 – 7 times less dense than metallic iron, so 6 – 7 times more voluminous) that cause the cracks in the concrete matrix and destroy reinforced concrete. In the absence of iron (and without some harmful chemical degradation reactions also ...

5. Self-healing material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-healing_material

   Autogenous healing is the natural ability of cementitious materials to repair cracks. This ability is principally attributed to further hydration of unhydrated cement particles and carbonation of dissolved calcium hydroxide. [105] Cementitious materials in fresh-water systems can autogenously heal cracks up to 0.2 mm over a period of 7 weeks. [106]

6. Pavement cracking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavement_cracking

   Different types of pavements develop different cracks. Type of cracking is also correlated with the type of climate and traffic. [1] [2] Sometimes the cracks are aggregated using an index such as Crack index, and sometimes they are merged with other distresses and are reported using Pavement Condition Index. [3]

7. Chipseal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chipseal

   Chip seal products can be installed over gravel roads to eliminate the cost of grading, road roughness, dust, mud, and the cost of adding gravel lost from grading. Adding chip seal over gravel is about 25% of the price of resurfacing with asphalt, $170,000 for a 4-mile project done in Minnesota [6] compared to $760,000 had it been redone with ...
