Cement-based sensors are increasingly used in smart concrete to self-sense and monitor
the damages and cracks through the measurements of concrete electrical resistivity. The …

Severe challenges such as depletion of natural resources, natural catastrophes, extreme
weather conditions, or overpopulation require intelligent solutions especially in architecture …

Visual inspection has been the most widely used technique for monitoring concrete
structures in service. Inspectors visually evaluate defects based on experience, skill, and …

Smart concretes and structures are intelligent systems that have properties different from
normal concrete, such as self-sensing and self-healing properties, or have the ability to react …

With the breadth of applications and analysis performed over the last few decades, it would
not be an exaggeration to call piezoelectric materials “the top of the crop” of smart materials …

Structural health monitoring is an important aspect of maintenance for bridge columns in
areas of high seismic activity. In this project, recently developed piezoceramic-based …

Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) that possess high electrical conductivity and relatively low
cost have been considered to obtain self-sensing capability in cementitious composites …

Optical fiber sensors are the most promising technique in monitoring physical and chemical
variables of civil structures. For the brittle material characteristics, a bare sensing fiber is …

This paper summarizes the authors' recent pioneering research work in piezoceramic-based
smart aggregates and their innovative applications in concrete civil structures. The basic …

This study experimentally analyzed the self-sensing performance of the tensile behavior of
ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) incorporating four different …
