This document provides an overview of self-healing concrete and methods for its evaluation. It discusses different types of self-healing concrete including vascular, microcapsule, shape memory polymers, and microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation techniques. Methods for evaluating self-healing efficiency at the macro and micro scales are also reviewed, including assessing regained mechanical properties and resistance. Finally, the document proposes further research on developing standardized approaches for evaluating healing efficiency and applying self-healing concrete in real-world applications.
