Abstract

In this research work, the possibility of self healing of surface micro-cracks under the fog curing conditions has been studied for early age concrete. Coda Wave Interferometry (CWI) technique has been implemented to detect the micro cracks in concrete caused due to the cyclic loading. 30 load cycles has been for varying load levels and it's effect on the mechanical properties has been analyzed for early age concrete.
