Fluid flow of a healing agent traveling through self-healing concrete can be visualized using CT. We scanned a porous vascular network embedded in concrete. You can clearly see the polyurethane flowing through the network and pores, and into the crack. #H2020 #smartincseu

Niranjan Prabhu (@PolitecnicoDICA @ugent) has been working on innovative low-cost macroencapsulation techniques pioneered by Buildwise🇧🇪. Commonly used for medicines 💊, these gelatin capsules now heal concrete cracks! Check via link:

Congrats Yasmina Shields, who obtained a PhD from @ugent after defending her work on “Self-healing concrete with a 3D printed ductile-porous vascular network”. It was great to see the evolution from proof-of-concept to demonstrator application.

Congrats to Vanessa Cappellesso! She defended her PhD “Self-Healing Concrete in Aggressive Environments” and earned a joint PhD from @ugent and @KU_Leuven.
Key result: matrix to select self-healing technology based on the environmental exposure

Laís (ESR15) had a great journey with 9 international secondments to investigate the commercialization of self-healing concrete, and this visit to a site in Italy using this technology was the perfect wrap-up. Exciting times ahead for sustainable construction!

We are pleased to share our latest paper prepared by Shan He from TU Delft. This paper documented how healing products precipitated around a crack and how bacteria close cracks in the vicinity of the healing agents. The paper is open access via sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Non-destructive techniques help to diagnose existing infrastructure to provide information on the need for maintenance. You can see different techniques observed by the ESRs for corrosion monitoring during their Training School at @IETorroja CSIC, Madrid. #H2020 #smartincseu

Did you know that most service life calculations consider concrete to be uncracked. However, these pictures show that a crack causes a deeper chloride ingress. Kiran (ESR13) tackles this by working on service life models for cracked concrete. #H2020 #smartincseu
