Autogenous Healing of Concrete in the Drinking Water Industry

Abstract

Characterizes the water chemistries responsible for both concrete corrosion and the autogenous healing of the cracks that often develop in concrete materials. Also identifies autogenous precipitates by using in situ Raman spectroscopy. Published in 2008.
