Abstract:
“Smart Concrete” materials are concrete composites prepared according to the final application to achieve high electrical conductivity or strain gauge characteristics. Large electrical conductivity is used for heating control (protection sidewalks and roads from freezing). Strain properties can be used to measure the deformation of concrete structures (bridges, beams, pillars) or for weighing-in-motion of road vehicles.
