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 fi...
