In this paper, a novel intelligent resilience system of cementitious materials for marine infrastructures developed recently at Shenzhen University is introduced. The aim of this system is to provide intelligent resilience against attacks of the marine environment on infrastructures made of cement-based materials, resulting in infrastructures with durability properties that far exceed those of conventional ones. Starting from the principles of intelligent resilience, the logic line of development of such a system is followed. Fundamental terms related to the resilience concept are discussed. On-going researches on material systems, design procedures and numerical models will be highlighted. he major challenges and further development concerning the intelligent resilience in cementitious materials will be addressed.
