In this study, constant head water permeability test was adopted to evaluate self-healing performance of mortars containing inorganic healing materials which consist of blast furnace slag, sodium sulfate and anhydrite. Clinker powder and sand replaced for a part of cement and fine aggregates. On constant head water permeability test for self-healing mortars, unit water flow rate of mortar specimens were measured according to crack width and healing period. As a result of evaluating the healing performance of self-healing mortar, it was confirmed that with the initial crack width of 0.3mm, the healing rate at healing period of 28 days increased by more than 30%p compared to plain mortar, greatly improving the healing performance. Furthermore, the coefficient(α) which was estimated from the relationship between crack width and unit water flow rate was used for calculating equivalent crack width. By analyzing the correlation of healing rate and equivalent crack width, the time and initial crack width attaining healing target crack width were predicted.

Recently, research on self-healing concrete has been actively conducted, and various methods have been attempted for use in the maintenance of structures. However, contrary to the technical development of self-healing concrete, the method for evaluating the performance is insufficient. Although surface observation and permeability experiments are widely used to observe the healing of cracks, microscopic observation of surface may be insufficient to assess the overall performance. Also, permeation experiments should consider the losses caused by the dissolution of self-healed product and viscosity of water. Although a gas diffusion experiment have been proposed to overcome the shortcomings of these two test methods, verification has not been made on specimens with actual healing. Therefore, in this study, gas diffusion experiments were performed on the mortar specimens that had healed, and the adequacy of self-healing evaluation by the gas diffusion experiment was verified.

Self-healing concrete is in the spotlight in that it can effectively extend the lifespan of concrete structures by healing cracks in the structure by themselves without additional repairing or retrofiting actions. Currently, self-healing concrete is a field that is being actively studied around the world, but since most studies focus on the improvement of healing performance, there is a lack of methods to rationally evaluate the self-healing performance of concrete. Although the gas diffusion test method has been developed for the use in the performance evaluation of self-healing concrete, it has revealed that for gas diffusion through the matrix affect the crack diffusion coefficients depending on the environmental conditions such as the saturation of the specimen, the temperature, and humidity during the experiment. Therefore, in this study, the method has been proposed to eliminate the influence of the matrix diffusion when calculating the crack diffusion coefficient. In addition, a pre-conditioning process was introduced to shorten the experimental time. As a result, the crack width could be estimated with an error level of less than 3% in the test time of about 20 minutes.

In this study, we tried to fabricate self - healing microcapsules using liquid inorganic materials which can be mixed directly with cement composites. The basic properties of the liquid inorganic material were evaluated and microencapsulation was performed. The focus of this paper is on the quality and manufacturing characteristics of cement composites rather than the healing effects of self - healing microcapsules according to mixed capsules. Test results, the self-healing microcapsules encapsulate liquid inorganic material which is stable at room temperature and has high crack followability, and the yield is over 90%. The size of self - healing microcapsule was able to change according to the synthetic agitation speed and it was able to secure more than 70% of target size. In addition, the loss of less than 10% was found to occur through the membrane strengthening of self - healing microcapsules, and it could be reduced by 50% compared with the case without membrane strengthening.

In this paper, a study was conducted to improve self-healing and strength properties using sodium acetate. The developed inorganic-organic self-healing materials and recycled sodium acetate were manufactured to evaluate self-healing and permeability reduction properties. As a result of the experiment with recycled sodium acetate, the compressive strength of the material prepared with anhydrous and trihydrate at a ratio of 7:4 was higher than that of the mixture using anhydrous. It was confirmed that the compressive strength was improved by 3~7 %. In addition, the maximum permeability reduction rate was 92.6 %, which satisfied the self-healing properties.

In this study, as part of a study to improve the self-healing performance of concrete structures by applying self-healing capsules made of cementitious materials to cement composite materials, the engineering characteristics of mortars according to PCC(Powder Compacted Capsule) size and mixing ratio were compared and analyzed. For this, fluidity, compressive strength, reload test, carbonation, ultrasonic velocity, and water permeability characteristics were measured according to PCC size and mixing ratio of mortar. As a result of the measurement, the fluidity and compressive strength increased as the mixing ratio of PCC increased, and in the case of the load reload test, the healing ratio increased as the mixing ratio of PCC increased in the 03PC formulation. In the case of water permeability test, it was found that when PCC was used, the reduction ratio of water flow was up to 35 % higher than that of Plain, and when PCC with a size of 0.3 to 0.6 mm was mixed with 15 %, it was found to be effective in improving the crack healing ratio of the mortar.

This paper aims to evaluate the quality characteristics and healing performance of precast concrete incorporating self-healing technology as a key technique for the construction of smart cities. The study found that precast concrete mixed with hybrid capsules exhibited a tendency of reduced slump and air content, impacting the quality characteristics. Specifically, the slump decreased by up to 14 %, and the air content by up to 9 %. Moreover, the inclusion of hybrid capsules in the concrete resulted in a maximum decrease of 16 % in compressive strength and 18 % in flexural strength. However, the introduction of hybrid capsules significantly enhanced the crack healing performance. The assessment through water permeability tests showed that the healing rate of 0.3 mm crack width after a 28-day healing period improved as the mixing ratio increased, with the healing rates at 1 %, 3 %, and 5 % hybrid capsule mixtures observed to increase by approximately 16 %, 25 %, and 32 %, respectively.

In this paper, a solid capsule was prepared using a crystal growth type inorganic material capable of hydration reaction, the quality and mechanical healing properties of self-healing mortar with solid capsules were evaluated. Solid capsules were mixed 5% by mass of cement. Reloading test results of compressive load, it was found to improve about 20% on average for the natural healing effect of Plain, in the case of the elastic range, the healing rate was about 79% at the 7 days of healing age and 98% at the 28 days of healing age. Reload test results of flexural load, in the case of the elastic range, the healing rate was about 79% at the 7 days of healing age and 98% at the 28 days of healing age. Through these results, it is judged that the healing performance of solid capsules has also an effect on mechanical healing properties such as strength in addition to the durability properties obtained by the permeability test. Since the strength tends to decrease as the solid capsules are mixed, it is considered necessary to compensate.
