Autogenous self healing relies on the composition of concrete and is accomplished by hydration reaction of cementitous productswithinthematrix,orbyreactionofpolymericsubstancesinthematrix.Autogenousselfhealinghasbeenwidely studied .One of the weaknesses of this approach is the limitation posed by crack width. Autogenous healing is primarily effectiveforverynarrowcracks;differentresearchersstudiedtheeffectivenessofthistechniqueinsealingcracksofdifferent widths,of5–10μm,200μm,and300μm.Ithasbeenacknowledgedthatwidercracksthataredeterimentaltodurabilityof concretestructurescannotbeeffectivelyhealedbyautogenoushealing.Furthermore,aconstantsupplyofwatermustbe presenttosupportthehydrationprocesssothatcrackscanbecompletelysealed.
