A review study on encapsulation‐based self‐healing for

Encapsulation‐based self‐healing technology is an effective method for healing the crack‐deteriorated cementitious material. Encapsulation‐based self‐healing initiates by crack occurrence and progresses by chemical reaction of released self‐healing agents in the cracks, which are contained in capsules. Get price

Placing and Finishing Concrete

After the jointing the concrete, it should be floated with a wood or metal hand float or with a finishing machine using float blades. This embeds aggregate particles just beneath the surface; removes slight imperfections, humps, and voids; and compacts the mortar at the surface in preparation for additional finishing operations.
