EN This research aims to propel advancements in self-healing concrete technology by developing compactable capsules containing sodium silicate as a healing agent to effectively seal wider cracks. The study employs computational fracture modeling using the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) to comprehensively understand the fracture mechanisms inherent in self-healing concrete. Additionally, the investigation delves into innovative approaches for capsular clustering and micro-capsule design, with a focus on enhancing the durability and longevity of concrete structures.
