MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611024960 A) filed by Dr. Ankit Tyagi; Dr. Siddharth; Dr. Mayank Gupta; Dr. Peeyush Vats; and Poornima College Of Engineering, Jaipur, Rajasthan, on March 3, for 'self-healing concrete structural monitoring instrument with embedded ai-based damage prediction module.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Ankit Tyagi; Dr. Siddharth; Dr. Mayank Gupta; and Dr. Peeyush Vats.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to the development of an intelligent infrastructure system developed to improve the durability, safety, and performance of civil structures. The system combines self-healing concrete technology with sensor integration to continuously monitor structural parameters such as strain, crack width, vibration, temperature, and moisture ingress. Real-time data collected from the distributed sensing nodes are processed using an integrated AI engine with machine learning algorithms to analyze anomalies, identify damage patterns, and predict crack growth trends. The prediction module combines environmental exposure and mechanical stress information to provide estimates of remaining service life and suggest preventive maintenance strategies. Upon detection of micro-cracks, the self-healing matrix made up of encapsulated healing agents or bacterial agents initiates autonomous healing processes to seal the cracks and restore structural integrity. The proposed instrument facilitates proactive management of infrastructure, lowers maintenance expenses, and improves resistance to environmental degradation, thus facilitating smart city development."
