Snoeck, D. Wang, J. De Belie, N. Date 2013-06-16 Abstract While the Japanese researchers Ohama et al. [1] already mentioned in 1992 that a self-healing effect was noticed when polymer-modified concrete without hardener was made, the real pioneer in the research on self-healing concrete is Carolyn Dry from Illinois. The first time she proposed the use of encapsulated polymers to obtain self-healing concrete dates back to 1994 [2] and based on her publication output, she remained active within this field until 2003 [3, 4]. Within this timeframe, Victor Li started his research on fiber-reinforced self-healing concrete in Michigan [5]. From 2000 onwards other researchers in Japan (Mihashi, Nishiwaki et al.) [6-8], France (Granger et al.) [9], the United Kingdom (Joseph et al.) [10] and the Netherlands (ter Heide et al.) [11] started their research on self-healing cementitious materials. However, it was only in 2007, when the Dutch IOP program on self-healing was granted and the first international conference on self-healing materials was organized in the Netherlands, that self-healing concrete gained world-wide attention and all over the world research groups started working on this topic. One year later, in Belgium or more specifically at the Magnel Laboratory for Concrete Research of Ghent University, research on self-healing concrete started. In this keynote, an overview of the most recent developments within the Magnel Laboratory will be given.
