Concrete is the most widely used construction material worldwide, owing to its high compressive strength and low cost; however, it has a high risk of cracking because of hydration, heat and contraction resulting from its relatively low tensile strength [1,2,3,4].Cracks generated in concrete act as passages for moisture and harmful ions, thus degrading the durability of concrete structures [5,6].
