Cement composites, with enhanced electrical properties, have been investigated as
multifunctional composites, with application as strain sensors, heating elements or anode in …

Earthquakes, material degradations and other environmental factors necessitate structural
health monitoring (SHM). Metal foil strain gages used for SHM have low durability and low …

Structural health monitoring is crucial to protect the lives and for asset management.
Classical sensors have low durability, low sensitivity and high cost which limit their use …

Cement-based sensors, widely used in monitoring the health of various structural elements,
are constantly exposed to different environmental conditions, especially a wide range of …

To reduce the consumption and waste of energy and materials in industry, construction and
transport, there exists an urgent need to increase the efficiency of infrastructure and …

The current paper presents the results of an experimental study of carbon nano-, micro-, and
hybrid-modified cementitious mortar to evaluate mechanical performance, energy …

The addition of conductive fibers to ordinary cementitious matrix permits to reduce its
electrical resistivity, and consequently create its self-sensing behavior. This guarantees to …

Carbon fibre reinforced cement-based sensors offer a potential low-cost and high-
performance alternative to externally applied sensors for health monitoring of concrete …

This paper is aimed at exploring mechanical, electrical and self-sensing properties of
cement-based mortars through the addition of short carbon fibers, at different dosages (2 …

This study investigated the piezoelectric response of a smart concrete (MSF) containing fine
steel slag aggregates (FSSAs) and steel fibers under high compression by measuring the …
