Damage tolerance and self-healing are naturally occurring phenomena found in many biological systems, optimized through millennia of evolution. Man-made materials, however, generally do not possess such attributes. Concrete is the most heavily used man-made material, but is inherently brittle and inevitably suffers from cracking under various mechanical and environmental loading conditions. Cracking impairs concrete mechanical properties, causing local stress concentration, and stiffness and strength reduction in structural members. Cracking also compromises concrete transport properties, accelerating other deterioration mechanisms such as chloride diffusion, moisture penetration, and reinforcement corrosion. These challenges can be potenti...
