Zhiren 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 RM4L

The RM4L team are in Milan for ICSHM 2022. First coffee break with colleagues from Bath, Cambridge, Newcastle and Kitakyushu universities.

The first RM4L presentation is from Livia Engineering Dept on her work to tailor microcapsules for self healing. Unfortunately she couldn't make it to Milan.

We are delighted to invite you to attend the RM4L Showcase Event in London on Thursday 8th September 2022. This event will showcase the state of the art in self-healing technologies and biomimetic infrastructure materials. rm4l.com/rm4l-showcase-…

On 22 & 23 May 2023 we would be honored to host you in Ghent for the SMARTINCS’23 conference. The abstract submission is now open, please visit smartincs.eu for the procedure. The deadline for abstract submission is October 1st, 2022. #SMARTINCS23 #H2020 #smartincseu

The RM4L showcase event will be held on Thursday at the BMA in London. A great opportunity to discuss the future of infrastructure materials. Registration available here: rm4l.com/rm4l-showcase-…

Just one of the display tables at the RM4L showcase event in London today. #selfhealing #selfsensing #concrete #bacteria #tetcretes

Thanks to CEMEX RPK for a great talk on practical methods for achieving low carbon concrete at our Showcase event today.

After 5+ years RM4L 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.

All part of RILEM Association 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…

Ismael and Bianca Reeksting discussed the impact and business engagement of our RM4L research with the funders Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council earlier this week. Thanks guys.

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.

Nice video from the Cardiff University Engineering team explaining how their Resilient Structures and Construction Materials research centre will continue the work of #RM4L in further development of self-healing, self-sensing and self-diagnosing construction materials. youtube.com/watch?v=vibrRz…

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…
