Self Healing Concrete

Self Healing Materials is a new research area that gets a lot of attention in recent years. Self Healing Concrete is a term that is used for cement-based materials that repair themselves after the material or structure gets damaged due to some sort of deterioration mechanism.

In this blog we will update you on the progress of the Self Healing Concrete projects running in the section Materials & Environment and the Microlab of the faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences of Delft University.


This blog contains a description of the running projects that are financed by AgentschapNL, DCMat, STW and industrial partners. Also a page "Literature & Videos" is included where a lot of publications can be found.

  1. Thank you for sharing. Concrete repair can often seem like a no-brainer especially given that the cost of replacement is often significantly higher than repair. When deciding whether to repair or replace concrete, you must weight your short and long term plans for the property against Life Cycle Costs (LCC).

  2. Has self healing concrete been commercially used anywhere in the world?
    Or is it still in the experimental stage.

  6. Much obliged to you for sharing. concrete repair can frequently appear like an easy decision particularly given that the expense of substitution is regularly altogether higher than repair. At the point when choosing whether to repair or supplant concrete, you should weight your short and long haul gets ready for the property against Life Cycle Costs (LCC).
