Abstract

Concrete is the most used material in the construction industry, being prone to cracking.
Following the action of aggressive external agents, through cracks, access routes to the embedded
reinforcement are created. By enclosing in concrete various materials that can induce the self-healing
property, by taking actions when the cracks appear, the access of the external aggressive agents to the
reinforcement can be stopped, therefore creating more durable materials. The aim of the research is to
design a micro concrete with self-healing properties, based on Engineered Cementitious Composites
principles from the literature and using local raw materials.
