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.　©　2021　Elsevier　Ltd
