APPLICATION IN CONSTRUCTION OF SELF-HEALING ELASTIC CONCRETE
The article discusses self-healing concrete with microencapsulated calcium nitrate. Its composition, substances promoting the acquisition of self-healing properties, ways of solving problems in the development of the material are considered. Possible applications, prospects for the introduction of elastic concrete in the construction industry are described. The article also describes the main advantages and disadvantages of a new type of concrete. The relevance of the article is due to the need to find the most effective way to prevent damage to concrete infrastructure and the need to increase the service life of structures of buildings and structures. The main purpose of writing this article was to evaluate the use of calcium nitrate as a healing agent and to consider its effect on the mechanisms of self-healing concrete materials. The article concludes with the main conclusions about the use of calcium nitrate capsules in self-healing concrete, a comparison of the characteristics of the concrete types under consideration.
