Over three billion metric tons of cement are produced annually
worldwide, making concrete the most extensively used construction
material. Self-sensing, or smart, cement allows real-time
monitoring of performance through the entire service life of a
concrete structure, for the detection of changing stresses,
contamination, excessive temperature, gas leaks and pre-seismic
activity. This is achieved by adding a very small proportion of
conductive or semi-conductive fibers, such as carbon fibers to the
bulk cement, making it piezoresistive, and enabling changes in the
concrete's electrical resistivity in response to shear stress and
strain to be monitored. This state-of-the-art reference work
presents experimental results with a realistic theoretical
framework, for cement manufactures, concrete technologists and
contractors as well as researchers.
