Concrete is the second most used building material in the world after water. The problem is that over time the material becomes weaker. As a response, researchers and designers are developing self-sensing concrete which not only increases longevity but also the strength of the material. Self-Sensing Concrete in Smart Structures provides researchers and designers with a guide to the composition, sensing mechanism, measurement, and sensing properties of self-healing concrete along with their structural applications Provides a systematic discussion of the structure of intrinsic self-sensing concreteCompositions of intrinsic self-sensing concrete and processing of intrinsic self-sensing concreteExplains the sensing mechanism, measurement, and sensing properties of intrinsic self-sensing concrete INDICE: Chapter 1 Structures of Intrinsic Self-Sensing Concrete Chapter 2 Compositions of Intrinsic Self-Sensing Concrete Chapter 3 Processing of Intrinsic Self-Sensing Concrete Chapter 4 Measurement of Sensing Signal of Intrinsic Self-Sensing Concrete Chapter 5 Sensing Property of Intrinsic Self-Sensing Concrete Chapter 6 Generation Mechanism of Sensing Property of Intrinsic Self-Sensing Concrete Chapter 7 Structural Applications of Intrinsic Self-Sensing Concrete Chapter 8 Intrinsic Self-Sensing Concrete with Carbon Fiber Chapter 9 Intrinsic Self-Sensing Concrete with Nickel Powder Chapter 10 Intrinsic Self-Sensing Concrete with Carbon Nanotube Chapter 11 Challenges for Development and Deployment of Intrinsic Self-Sensing Concrete and Structures
