Transforming Concrete Resilience: Investigating High-Temperature Effects on Self-Healing Properties

Our Mission

To advance fire-resilient and self-healing concrete technologies through rigorous experimental research, enhancing the safety, durability, and sustainability of civil infrastructure.

Significance

Advancing knowledge on concrete resilience and self-healing under Fire.

Research

Self-healing concrete has shown promising performance under ambient conditions; however, its effectiveness after fire or high-temperature exposure remains largely unexplored. TraaSH addresses this critical gap by examining how healing mechanisms respond to thermally induced damage and by advancing the durability of smart cementitious materials.

Collaboration

By integrating materials science, structural engineering, and fire resilience, this project supports development of safer, long-lasting, and sustainable infrastructure systems. In that case we are open for Partnering with industry and academia to enhance sustainable construction.

Funding & Host Institution

TraaSH is funded through the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship, part of the European Union’s Horizon Europe Programme.

The Research is being conducted at Ulster University, Belfast Campus which provides advanced research facilities and an interdisciplinary environment supporting innovation in sustainable construction materials.
