Ar eracks formation, the delayed hydration of the mix along the interface of the cracks occurred: by reacting with water, the width ofthe erack was reduced, and, in some cases, the complete filing of the damaged zone was evidenced, Crystals of caleium hydroxide and of ealeium carbonate, produced by the reaction between the former and carbon dioxide, allowed cracks sealing. Heam and Morley (Heara, N., Morley, C.T. 1997) sixty years later, continued to ‘suppor the thesis of Turner ané confirmed thatthe presence of water was mandatory to activate te selfealing process {in not fully hydrated cementitious materials. Neville (Neville, AM. 2002) states that, n addition to water and carbon.
