Crack Width Estimation of Mortar Specimen Using Gas Diffusion Experiment

Crack Width Estimation of Mortar Specimen Using Gas Diffusion Experiment

Maintenance of structures using self-healing concrete technologies has recently been actively studied. However, unlike the technological development of self-healing concrete, research focused on evaluating the self-healing performance is insufficient. Although water permeability experiments are wide...

Although water permeability experiments are widely used, the reliability of the test results may be reduced due to the viscosity of water and the possibility of elution of material inside the specimen. In this study, we propose a gas diffusion test for estimating the crack width and eventually for application to evaluation of the self-healing performance. The results verified that the proposed method can be effectively applied to the estimation of crack width.https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1944/12/18/3003gas diffusion coefficientcracked specimencrack width estimation
