Crack sealing and damage recovery monitoring of a concrete healing system using embedded piezoelectric transducers Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The autonomous healing performance of concrete is experimentally verified by applying a technique based on the ultrasonic pulse velocity method using embedded piezoelectric transducers. Crack opening which deteriorates the mechanical capacity of concrete infrastructure is traditionally studied by different monitoring techniques that adequately provide a direct estimation of damage. Conversely in this research, an ultrasonic pulse velocity method ...
