Smart Concrete

Smart concrete has made from carbon fibre reinforced concrete. It has a very high compressive strength. This concrete has a sense of strain or stress. By using admixture it becomes sensor. This sensing ability is due to the change of electrical resistance. Types of Smart Concrete Ø   Transparent Concrete Ø   High Volume Fly Ash Concrete Ø   Silica Fumes Concrete Ø   Self Healing Concrete Ø   Light Weight Concrete Ø   Polymer Concrete Ø   Self Compacting Concrete Ø   Bacterial concrete Ø   Fibre-reinforced concrete Ø   Pervious concrete Ø   Water-proof concrete Ø   Temperature controlled concrete Ø   Coloured concrete It is widely used to construct civil engineering marvellous building, highway, bridges, runways for airport, continuous slab-type sleepers for high-speed trains, dams, and nuclear power plants, and especially has great potential in the field of structural health monitoring, traffic. It contain short carbon fibres, typically 5
