Riassunto

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

Dalla quarta di copertina

Clear and Concise, Self-Sensing Concrete in Structural Design provide a systematic discussion on the structures of intrinsic self-sensing concrete. The book s two part treatment begins with the compositions of intrinsic self-sensing concrete, processing of intrinsic self-sensing concrete, fundamental sensing mechanism, measurement, and sensing properties of intrinsic self-sensing concrete. , structural application of self-sensing concrete. The second part of the book covers methods for creating self-sensing concrete with different materials such as: carbon fiber, nickel powder, and carbon nanotube. The third part discusses the future challenges for the development and deployment of intrinsic self-sensing concrete and structures.
