Investigation of crack healing mechanism of core-shell structured self-healing artificial aggregate concrete
Self-healing artificial aggregate concrete balances mechanical properties and healing performance, featuring low energy consumption and controllable intelligent healing capabilities. This study systematically investigates the crack healing mechanism of self-healing artificial aggregate concrete using backscattered electron microscopy, X-ray computed tomography, and digital volume correlation. Results indicate that the microstructural performance of self-healing artificial aggregate concrete critically depends on the microstructure and bonding properties of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ). A high proportion of reaction products and low porosity contributes to the enhancement of mechanical properties. A uniformly dense microstructure leads to a compound damage pattern (damage occurring evenly in the aggregate, matrix, and interface), which facilitates the nearby nucleation of unreacted particles in the self-healing artificial aggregate, thereby improving the crack healing bonding rate (reach up to 82.7%). Additionally, self-healing artificial aggregate concrete can achieve effective healing in water without the need for additional alkaline ions to drive secondary hydration reactions.
