4. Conclusions
- (1)
- The amount of self-healing products decreased when SCMs were used, whereas it increased when SCMs were used along with CAs. G40NS5 showed the highest content of self-healing products.
- (2)
- The XRD/Rietveld refinement of the phase composition of the self-healing products showed that calcite was the main compound, irrespective of the mixture proportions. The portlandite content decreased when SCMs and crystalline additives were mixed. When CAs were mixed, alkali sulfate and alkali carbonate appeared. This indicates that the phase composition of self-healing products varies with the mixture proportions.
- (3)
- The TG/DTG analysis results showed that the addition of GGBFS and FA significantly decreased the portlandite content in the self-healing products. In every specimen, the weight change due to the decomposition of calcite was the highest, and the calcite content decreased in the G40NS5, G40C7NS5NC3, and G40C7NS5MC3 with crystalline additives.
- (4)
- The quantitative analysis results of calcite and portlandite obtained using the XRD/Rietveld refinement and TG/DTG analysis methods were compared with the results of existing studies. The calcite and portlandite contents were not found to be proportional to the autogenous healing performance. This is believed to be due to the effect of different types of phase compositions in the self-healing products and the crack geometry.
- (5)
- The SEM–EDS analysis results showed that portlandite and calcite were mainly observed in P100 and SF10. When SF was replaced with 10%, the self-healing products were similar to the case using OPC alone. When GGBFS and FA were added, portlandite did not appear, and C-A-H and C-S-H mainly appeared. When the CSA was used, plate-type monosulfate and acicular ettringite appeared in the self-healing products, whereas plate-type and hexahedral hydrates mainly appeared in the G40NS5.
