The potential effects of curing age on the self-sensing (piezoresistivity) capability of carbon-based Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) specimens are under focus in the present study. This non-structural feature can be regarded as one of the best solutions for continuously monitoring of infrastructures in terms of damage and deformations. Carbon fibers which are a micro-scale electrically conductive material were added to the ECC matrix and well dispersed to create the electrically conductive network. This network is responsible for sensing the applied loads on the prismatic specimens. The self-sensing behavior of electrically conductive prismatic specimens under four-point monotonic flexural loading was investigated and compared with dielectric ECC specimens at four ages of curing (7, 28, 90 and 180 days). The results showed that the developed multifunctional cementitious composites can sense the changes in the applied flexural stresses and the resultant mid-span deflection along the adopted curing ages with an improvement in the later ages.

Healing Property

Concrete is the most used material in the construction industry, being prone to cracking. Following the action of aggressive external agents, through cracks, access routes to the embedded reinforcement are created. By enclosing in concrete various materials that can induce the self-healing property, by taking actions when the cracks appear, the access of the external aggressive agents to the reinforcement can be stopped, therefore creating more durable materials. The aim of the research is to design a micro concrete with self-healing properties, based on Engineered Cementitious Composites principles from the literature and using local raw materials.

Engineered Cementitious Composites

Semi-flexible pavement (SFP) materials, with their characteristics of good high temperature stability, strong durability, and lower cost, are suitable for heavy-duty roads, but their cracking problem has hindered the development and popularization of this kind of pavement to a certain extent. In this study, engineered cementitious composites (ECC) were used to form ECC-SFP materials. The self-healing properties of ECC-SFP materials with three kinds of voids of matrix asphalt mixtures were studied. The test results showed that the fluidity and strength of the ECC mortars met the specification requirements when the water–cement ratio was 0.23 and the ECC fiber dosage was 1–2%. The flexural strength of ECC mortar is better than that of ordinary mortar. The higher the ECC fiber dosage, the higher the flexural strength. Increasing the void of the matrix asphalt mixture and the amount of ECC mortar increased the toughness of the ECC-SFP material, which was seen as an increase of the flow value. Curing conditions are key factor affecting the self-healing properties of ECC mortar and ECC-SFP materials. The self-healing effect of materials in 60 °C water is the best. When an ECC fiber dosage of 1% was used, the HImor of ECC mortar and HImix of ECC-SFP material were 27.5% and 24.8%, respectively. With the addition of ECC material, ECC-SFP material achieved a certain degree of self-healing, but this still needs to be further optimized. Studies of grouting process optimization and increasing the ECC fiber dosage are feasible directions to explore in order to improve the self-healing properties of ECC-SFP materials in the future.
