Carbon-Based Nanomaterial Embedded Self-Sensing Cement Composite for Structural Health Monitoring of Concrete Beams - A Extensive Review

Abstract. Structural health monitoring has proven to be a dependable source for ensuring the integrity of structure. It also aids in detecting and estimating progression cracks loss structural performance. The most compelling components system are sensing material sensor technology. In systems, fiber optic sensors, strain gauges, temperature shape memory alloys, other types sensors commonly used. Even though bring monetary value system, they have some apparent drawbacks. As result, self-sensing cement composite was established as alternative with better endurance compatibility than sensors. Carbon nanotubes, nanofibers, graphene nanoplates, oxide carbon-based nanomaterials unique mechanical electrical properties. this review comprises complete assessment fresh, mechanical, properties developed using nanoparticles. research focuses on self-monitoring performance concrete beams, both bulk embedded, by graphing deviation fractional change resistivity strain. network channel development composites their characterization acquired scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-Ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) comprehensively discussed. According study, increasing embedment decreased relative slump flowability while composite's compressive, split tensile, flexural, post-peak Also, amount carbon nanomaterial directly relates conductivity. piezoresistive capabilities not only improves conductive but serves flexural members.
