Concrete is the material most produced by humanity. Its popularity is mainly based on its low
production cost and great structural design flexibility. Its operational and ambient loadings …

This study examined the electrical and self-sensing capacities of ultra-high-performance
fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) with and without carbon nanotubes (CNTs). For this, the …

Bolted connection is widely used in mechanical and civil engineering; however, in some
cases, bolt looseness may cause catastrophic consequences. Bolt pre-load monitoring in …

In this paper, a piezoelectric impedance frequency shift method is developed to estimate the
bolt preload for the detection of bolt looseness in engineering structures. An experimental …

Piezoceramic based active sensing methods have been researched to monitor preload on
bolt connections. However, there is a saturation problem involved with this type of method …
