Finally caught up with the Gresham lecture on #microbial megastructures given earlier this week by @robinmay9. Includes a fantastic explanation of the work at Bath on use of #bacteria to heal cracks in #concrete. gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/micr…

Just fab to get ALL the staff and postdocs (including those that had left Bath) from the Bath @Materials4Life team together for the first and last time. Celebrating the end of what was an amazing project. #Research is #fun.

All part of @RILEM1947 TC 287-CCS looking at cracking in concrete. It's amazing how much we still need to learn. And for my part how we can get cracks to heal themselves. rilem.net/groupe/287-ccs-ear…

Even though reinforced concrete (RC) is one of the most used manmade materials in the world, and adequate models exist for the prediction and design of the ultimate capacity of RC structures, the...

After 5+ years @Materials4Life ends this month. It was great to have a final drink with fellow directors, Tony, Abir and Diane, in London last week to celebrate a transformation in self-healing and self-sensing construction #materials and work well done. Cheers all.

Replying to @zhirenz
In Cardiff, we keep active in concrete mechanics after Prof Karihaloo's legacy: dissipation processes for cracking across scales (topic of my PhD), other colleagues are working in non-conventional concrete mechanics such as self-healing rm4l.com/ @Materials4Life

Conversei com os pesquisadores @KevPaine e @GebhardLab sobre o projeto de concreto autorregenerativo que eles desenvolvem na @UniofBath. Descubra mais sobre esse projeto curioso e que vai tornar a construção civil mais sustentável no @Metropoles: metropoles.com/mundo/ciencia…

Self-healing buildings may sound like science fiction, but it is being made a reality at @bathenganddes. Instead of using more concrete to repair structural damage, our researchers are developing technologies that will enable concrete to repair itself. bath.ac.uk/case-studies/usin…

Hardworking paid off. Cast 105 samples and 3 large scale culverts for the #RM4L site #trial at @EngineeringCU in Cardiff. @Materials4Life #selfhealing #demonstration #concrete – at Cardiff, Wales

The way for #NetZero #sustainableconstruction should pass through developing smart #StructuraHealthMonitoring systems, capable of detecting #concretecracks and #Concreterepair efficiently. Here is our contribution from @Materials4Life @UniofBath towards such smart systems. – at Bath, England

Thank you to colleagues at @Jaipur_Manipal for asking me to give a keynote on @Materials4Life at their International Conference on Sustainable Materials and Practices for Built Environment last week. Here's an action shot with me thanking the great team at @UniofBath.
