Summary
We are pleased to introduce this special issue dedicated to Self-Healing Concrete and Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composites. Cracking and durability degradation remain major challenges limiting the service life, safety, and sustainability of concrete infrastructure. Self-healing technologies and fiber reinforcement provide effective strategies for improving crack control, mechanical performance, durability, and structural resilience.
This special issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research on the scientific understanding and engineering applications of self-healing concrete and fiber-reinforced cementitious composites. Submissions may include original research articles, reviews, or short communications. Specific themes of interest include, but are not limited to:
1.Design principles and theories of self-healing concrete and fiber-reinforced cementitious composites
2.Novel self-healing mechanisms, including microcapsule-based, bacteria-induced, crystalline, and mineral precipitation systems
3.Fiber design, functionalization, and optimization for crack control and performance enhancement
4.Synergistic effects between self-healing systems and fiber reinforcement
5.Mechanical properties, fracture behavior, and crack resistance
6.Durability enhancement under aggressive environments
7.Microstructural characterization and healing product analysis
8.Numerical modelling, digital design, and intelligent monitoring technologies
9.Lifecycle assessment, sustainability evaluation, and engineering case studies
Keywords
self-healing concrete, fiber-reinforced cementitious composites, crack control, durability, microstructural characterization, numerical modelling, sustainable infrastructure.
