Textile Reinforced Concrete in Combination with Improved Self-Healing Ability Caused by Crystalline Admixture.

The main aim of this study was to investigate the improved autogenous healing of concrete caused by a crystalline admixture in combination with textile reinforced concrete (TRC). This phenomenon (improved healing) has not yet been described by any independent study, and not at all in relation to TRC. The results of the study confirmed that the interaction between TRC and the crystalline admixture's self-healing ability is advantageous and usable.

Improvement of the Durability of Recycled Masonry Aggregate Concrete.

The use of recycled masonry aggregate for concrete is mostly limited by the worse properties in comparison with natural aggregate. For these reasons it is necessary to find ways to improve the quality of recycled masonry aggregate concrete and make it more durable. One possibility is utilization of crystalline admixture which was verified in this study by laboratory measurements of key material properties and durability.
