Self-healing potential of supplementary cementitious materials in cement mortars: Sorptivity and pore structure

This paper presents the autogenic self-healing potential of Portland cement (PC) blends made with conventional supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), to improve the water-tightness by reducing the overall pore size. Mortar samples were prepared by mixing PC, sand and water, and partially repla...
