Abstract
The most common types of cementitious materials used as building materials can be found all over the world. The fact remains, however, that deterioration is unavoidable right from the start of the service life, which is followed by maintenance and repair work. Since the cementitious materials have been observed to exhibit a self-healing phenomenon, which has been the subject of research for quite some time. This paper is focused on the review of the feasibility of (Engineered Cementitious Composite) ECC and its properties such as mechanical, physical, rheological, and chemical properties. ECC is considered to have a high self-healing potential and superior mechanical and durability performance. Self-healing concrete is typically employed for the purpose of minimizing cracks in concrete and enhancing the material's overall durability. These mechanisms are reviewed based on extensive experimental studies and practical experience. Self-healing concretes are typically employed for the purpose of mending cracks in concrete and enhancing the material's overall durability. There are many distinct varieties of self-healing processes, including natural, chemical, and biological ones. Studies were conducted with a primary emphasis on biological processes that are dependent on precipitation. In order to study the properties of self-healing with ECC, a transmission electron microscope (TEM), an environmental scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectroscopy system (ESEM-EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X Ray Diffraction (XRD) were all implemented. To further understand the properties of self-healing, this research was conducted. This review offers a fresh perspective on the research done on the topic of treating unexpected cracking in concrete through the use of a self-healing process.
