Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Chemical Admixtures for Self-Healing Concrete: From Formulation to Field - Applications, Troubleshooting & Case Studies is an application-driven technical reference developed for concrete formulators, ready-mix producers, engineers, and consultants seeking reliable industrial deployment of self-healing technologies. As Volume 13 of the Concrete Chemical Admixtures series, the book converts laboratory-proven concepts into executable practices suitable for production plants, construction sites, and long-term asset management.The content prioritizes mechanism-aware mix design, verified compatibility with modern supplementary cementitious materials, curing strategies aligned with healing activation, and integration into digital construction ecosystems. Advanced workflows incorporating AI-supported formulation, IoT-based process monitoring, and digital twin concepts are presented to support consistent performance under diverse exposure conditions, including marine, underground, hydraulic, and high-SCM environments.Structured troubleshooting maps form a central pillar of the book, enabling rapid diagnosis and correction of common field deviations such as dosage drift, premature capsule rupture, moisture misalignment, and admixture incompatibility. The methodology emphasizes execution control, measurable thresholds, and prevention-oriented decision logic rather than post-failure analysis.Comprehensive case studies, validation protocols, and an Industry 4.0-aligned quality management framework support traceability from batch design to in-service performance. Sustainability considerations, lifecycle cost efficiency, and alignment with evolving performance-based specifications are addressed throughout to ensure regulatory and environmental relevance.Whether applied to pilot-scale validation, resolution of inconsistent field behavior, or development of durable low-carbon concrete systems, this book provides the technical tools required to transform self-healing admixtures from experimental solutions into robust, repeatable components of modern concrete practice.American Industrial Technologies LLC.
