Abstract
In this study, Na2CO3 solution as a self-healing agent was impregnated in LWA for autonomic self-healing on cracked cementitious material. The results showed that under the joint action of expansive agent, crystalline additive, phosphate and carbonate, the crack area showed a high self-healing efficiency (close to 70%) after curing in the still water 28d. SEM-EDS test results showed that in addition to ettringite and C-S-H/C-A-S-H, there was also a large amount of CaCO3 crystal in the depths of the crack.
