Description

This research aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the environmental implications of self-healing concrete (SHC) through a systematic literature review. Adopting the methodological framework proposed by Tranfield et al. (2003), the study consolidated fragmented knowledge across the domain. Data collection was executed using Google Scholar, targeting articles from 2019 to 2023, resulting in an initial pool of 60 potential articles. Rigorous screening narrowed this to 17 articles that were critically analyzed for patterns, consistencies, and discrepancies, inspired by Yin's (1994) approach. The synthesis stage generated new insights, framing them into a coherent narrative on SHC's environmental impact. Notably, while the initial articles spanned a wide geographical range, the final selection showcased diverse global research interests in SHC. This study's originality lies in its methodical approach, ensuring a transparent, replicable, and thorough exploration of SHC's environmental ramifications, thereby contributing significantly to the existing body of knowledge.
