Self-healing materials are man-made materials which have the
built-in capability to repair damage. Failure in materials is often
caused by the occurrence of small microcracks throughout the
material. In self-healing materials phenomena are triggered to
counteract these microcracks. These processes are ideally triggered
by the occurrence of damage itself. Thus far, the self-healing
capacity of cement-based materials has been considered as something
"extra". This could be called passive self-healing, since it was
not a designed feature of the material, but an inherent property of
it. Centuries-old buildings have been said to have survived these
centuries because of the inherent self-healing capacity of the
binders used for cementing building blocks together. In this
State-of-the-Art Report a closer look is taken at self-healing
phenomena in cement-based materials. It is shown what options are
available to design for this effect rather than have it occur as a
"coincidental extra".
