Abstract:
The use of 2d carbon-based materials such as carbon nanotubes, nanofibers, and graphene nanoplatelets, when successfully dispersed in cementitious materials allows us to explore novel functionalities. We have succeeded in obtaining networks of well dispersed CNTs/CNFs and GNPs and develop nano-engineered concrete that exhibits semi-conducting behavior and notable electromechanical impedance sensitivity. In this presentation we will focus on the sensing functionality and the ability to monitoring stress and strain and detecting crack propagation and damage accumulation at all stages of deformation.
