Alive concrete

Alive Concrete 
 
Civil infrastructures are susceptible to losing their designed functions as they deteriorate by ageing and natural disasters. Failing to detect early-warning signals is a serious threat to our safety and economy. This project aims to develop a multifunctional building composite that couples the sustainability of self-healing concrete and the responsive nature of self-sensing materials to communicate real-time its health condition. The grant will fund the recipient, one postdoc, and one PhD student.
