Abstract The need for ageing infrastructure monitoring has recently emerged as an urgent priority in many countries. Smart road is a technology that could be used to address this issue by enabling on-time decisions such condition-based maintenance. For example, automatic traffic beneficial improving fatigue analysis, and maintenance planning management of overloaded vehicles. This can done thro...

This paper proposes a new sustainable earth–cement building composite with multifunctional sensing features and investigates its properties through an experimental campaign. Earth cement are proportioned as 2/7 in volume, while carbon microfibers added various amounts to achieve piezoresistivity, ranging from 0 1% respect the weight of binder (i.e., earth + cement). The proposed material couple...
