Paving the way for sustainable construction with self-healing, self-sensing, and hydrophobic concrete.
Paving the way for sustainable construction with self-healing, self-sensing, and hydrophobic concrete.
In a massive leap for sustainable construction, researchers at the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UTS have created concrete that can heal its own cracks.
When cracks begin to emerge in non-conductive concrete, they can be extremely damaging to the overall performance of the concrete.
“This is a huge issue in concrete construction and maintenance,” says Associate Professor Wengui Li, who leads the team in smart concrete infrastructure at the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering in the University of Technology Sydney’s (UTS) Faculty of Engineering and IT.
