Abstract

Additive manufacturing (AM) can produce complex vascular network configurations, yet limited testing has been done to characterize the damage and healing behavior of concrete with embedded networks for self-healing. In this study, different AM methods and network wall materials were used to produce vascular networks for self-healing concrete prisms, where their load-response behavior, healing efficiency and microstructure were evaluated using non-destructive techniques: acoustic emission (AE), ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), digital image correlation (DIC), and X -ray computed tomography (CT). The types of healing agent release mechanisms that were studied include a ductile-porous network that supplies fluid from its pores and a brittle network that fractures under load to release fluid. DIC coupled with AE verified debonding of ductile-porous networks from the cementitious matrix, and was able to track damage progression as well as healing for all networks with load regains up to 56 % and stiffness regains up to 91 % using polyurethane.
