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.

    WORKSHOP Self Healing Concrete, Delft, 17- May - 2011

    In May we had a succesfull workshop with around 40 participants from the Industry where we presented our self healing concrete projects. The workshop was sponsored by DCMat (Delft Centre for Materials). The projects that were presented are sponsored by AgentschapNL, STW and DCMat and are supported by the industrial partners that are indicated in each of the presentations.

    Below is the program and the presentations of the workshop which you can download by clicking on the title.
