New Normal !!!

Papers sought for a special issue on "Biomimetic Infrastructure Materials: Towards a Greener Future". Plenty of time with a deadline of 30 November 2021.

Was a great webinar!

A great article with a contribution from RM4L's @GebhardLab explaining the work on bio self healing concrete University of Bath

And ready for the #RM4L Bath's team meeting...

Ahead of an online conference in two weeks time, here are some thoughts from RM4L on integrating self-sensing in bacterial self-healing #concrete to create a more biomimetic approach to repair. With @GebhardLab Hussameldin M.Taha and Bianca Reeksting scipedia.com/public/Paine_e…

Whether you are a #PhD student or an #ECR you will understand what I mean by "jungle juggling" ...#paper, #thesis, #laboratory, #data analysis, #conference, #supervisor... Join RM4L RM4L in the next #webinar series on #survival #skills lnkd.in/e2rSdxp

Despite #COVID19 disruptions our amazing #RM4L RM4L team of researchers has progressed the work of the next generation of #biomimetic #selfhealing infrastructure materials. Find out more in the latest issue of our #newsletter rm4l.com/wp-content/upl…

Our latest paper, which we hope will dispel some misunderstandings about how bacteria behave when added to concrete. "The case against MICP as a means for strength improvement" with @gebhardlab Bianca Reeksting (free for 50 days) authors.elsevier.com/a/1cwxM3Q2WYlY…

Please come along to the last in our series of talks on innovative construction materials and structures.

The Resilient Materials 4 Life 2020 (RM4L2020) International Conference on smart biomimetic infrastructure materials is held online from 20 to 22 September this year. RILEM members can enjoy a 10% reduction in the registration fees. More info here: bit.ly/bit.ly/3BvkHeb

The way for #NetZero #sustainableconstruction should pass through developing smart #StructuraHealthMonitoring systems, capable of detecting #concretecracks and #Concreterepair efficiently. Here is our contribution from RM4L University of Bath towards such smart systems.

Whilst much has been reported on bacterial self-healing of concrete, little consideration seems to have been given to the effect it has on the microstructure of the original cement paste. We show that there are local changes to C-S-H, AFm and AFt phases. authors.elsevier.com/c/1eWs53Q2WYpM…

Fab RM4L research by Jiacheng Zhang 张嘉诚 addressing moisture issues in the development of cement-based #sensors for self-sensing #concrete. Contributions from Hussameldin M.Taha. Electrical impedance behaviour of carbon fibre reinforced cement-based sensors. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Just fab to get ALL the staff and postdocs (including those that had left Bath) from the Bath RM4L team together for the first and last time. Celebrating the end of what was an amazing project. #Research is #fun.

As an aside to using PZT sensors to detect cracks in concrete through RM4L, Hussameldin M.Taha looked at whether he could also detect changes in concrete as it cured and hardened. Some interesting insights published here. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…
