A steam curing temperature that preserves self-healing properties and demolding strength was identified. The presented simultaneously mixing method using the expanding material and the fly ash in the process of admixture can maximize the self-curing performance. Also adding synthetic fibers in the heavyweight concrete improved the self-healing performance. }, journal = {International Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {11}, number = {3}, year = {2017}, pages = {277 - 281}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10006502}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/123}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 123, 2017}, }
