Concurrent Prospects to Develop Activated Charcoal Reinforced Self-Sensing Cement Composites for Structural Health Monitoring Applications

This research examines the electromechanical characteristics of self-sensing cement composite (SCC) containing activated charcoal (AC) at various concentrations (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%). The developed is placed in zones beam to monitor behaviour, as well column center deflection. reveals that AC reduced compressive strength resistivity composites by generating local hydration carbon accumulation. performance index approach optimizes 25% 20% without with 10% silica fume (SF), respectively. embedded SCC has monitored deflection beams columns a maximum correlation between electrical 99% 96%, According findings, can generate SCC, which might be utilized columns.
