Self healing construction materials : fundamentals monitoring and large scale applications Fundamentals of self healing construction materials Microencapsulation Bacteria based composites Shape memory polymers Flow networks Macrocapsules Autogenic approaches Metals and alloys Monitoring self healing in construction materials Methods for monitoring recovery of mechanical properties Techniques for monitoring durability recovery Case Studies. This book provides a thorough overview of all techniques for producing self healing construction materials. Construction materials (cement based bituminous metals and alloys) are prone to cracking which with the progress of time can lead to compromising of the structural integrity of critical infrastructure. Self healing materials form a new class of materials that have inbuilt engineered properties to counteract damage and repair it before it becomes critical. The methods for monitoring modeling and assessing self healing are also reviewed. The final section of the book discusses the future outlook and potential extension of self healing concepts to other materials (e.g. heritage structures and soils).
