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. Dowel bar retrofit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowel_bar_retrofit

   The caulking filler is used to prevent backfill material from flowing into the joint or crack. Non-shrink concrete backfill material that is tested as rapid set concrete patching materials is recommended for use on DBR projects. First, make two saw cuts in the pavement to outline the longitudinal sides of each dowel bar slot.

4. Basement waterproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basement_waterproofing

   Epoxy crack injections are typically used for structural purposes while hydrophobic or hydrophilic polyurethane injections are used to seal cracks to prevent penetration of moisture or water. Concrete is both strong and inexpensive, making it an ideal product in construction. However, concrete is not waterproof.

5. Waterproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterproofing

   Masonry walls are built with a damp-proof course to prevent rising damp, and the concrete in foundations needs to be damp-proofed or waterproofed with a liquid coating, basement waterproofing membrane (even under the concrete slab floor where polyethylene sheeting is commonly used), or an additive to the concrete. Within the waterproofing ...

6. Engineered cementitious composite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_cementitious...

   [5] [6] [7] In the presence of water (during a rainstorm, for instance) unreacted cement particles recently exposed due to cracking hydrate and form a number of products (calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H), calcite, etc.) that expand and fill in the crack. These products appear as a white ‘scar’ material filling in the crack.

7. Filler (materials) - Wikipedia

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

   Filler can have a negative or positive effect on fatigue resistance depending on the filler type and shape. In general fillers create small discontinuities in the matrix. This can contribute to crack initiation point. If the filler is brittle fatigue resistance will be low, whereas if the filler is very ductile the composite will be fatigue ...
