Residential fires are the main source of fire deaths and injuries both in the United States and
globally. As such, better fire-resistant building materials are needed to bolster fire protection …

In recent years, cement-based smart composites (CSCs) doped with conductive filler have
attracted increasing research interest because of their high potentiality as self-sensing …

To develop smart concrete pavement for intelligent infrastructure, the self-sensing
performance of smart pavement with embedded cement-based sensors was experimentally …

Carbon black (CB) possesses a good prospect for producing multifunctional building
materials. The existing literature, however, mainly reported the electrical properties …

This article aims to improve the electrical and piezoresistive properties of cement-based
composites by the combined addition of nano carbon black (NCB) and nickel nanofiber …

Minimising the risk of fire and structural collapse are primary goals in the design of concrete
buildings. This study aimed to determine how nano-silica (NS) and ground granulated blast …

Cement replacement materials have been the subject of increasing levels of research and
development in recent years. These products are employed for many reasons, including to …

Introducing steel fibers (SFs) into carbon nanotubes (CNTs) concrete can fully exert the
synergistic effect of SFs and CNTs in both micro and macro, alleviating the high brittleness of …

Shrinkage control is needed to ensure an appropriate installation of cementitious sensors
used in the Structural Health Monitoring of concrete elements. However, the effects of …

Cementitious materials with self-sensing properties have been recently proposed for strain-
monitoring of civil structures. Although different methods have been used to install cement …
