The　durability　of　cementitious　materials　is　affected　by　the　presence　of　cracks.　This　paper　proposed　a　novel　composite　material　and　evaluated　its　crack　healing　ability.　This　material　consisted　with　engineered　cementitious　composite　(ECC)　and　shape　memory　alloy　(SMA)　fibers.　A　total　of　12　specimens　were　made　and　tested　under　flexural　loads.　Test　parameters　included　material　type　and　target　displacement　level.　Test　results　indicated　that　specimens　with　SMA-ECC　had　great　increase　in　strength　and　ductility　compared　with　specimens　with　concrete.　Specimens　with　SMA-ECC　exhibited　promising　crack　healing　ability　by　effectively　reducing　the　crack　number　and　width.　The　self-healing　ability　reduced　with　increasing　target　displacement　level.　The　self-healing　ability　was　further　investigated　through　ultrasonic　pulse　test.　Ultrasonic　pulse　test　results　were　consistent　with　the　mechanical　test　results,　indicating　effectiveness　of　this　test　method.　This　composite　material　SMA-ECC　has　promising　application　in　infrastructure　critical　for　security　to　mitigate　damage　and　heal　cracks,　and　increases　durability　of　the　structure,　and　reduces　maintenance　cost.　(c)　2021　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
