Deborah D. L. Chung’s mixture of carbon fibers and conventional concrete, is an electrically conductive “smart concrete” (developed at the Composite Materials Research Laboratory) that can be continuously monitored for changes in electrical resistance as the material goes under stress. Levees and other critical structures can benefit from “smart concrete” and other early warning systems that sense subtle changes which occur prior to its failure.

smart concrete is a wonderful material. i would like tohave a paper presentation on it so send me details like where else it can be used, types of cement along which it can used,limitations for usage like size of aggregate ,admixtures etc. i have gained a little knowledge about smart concrete i would like to know more and share the same with my professors,my classmates and many others.
Smart Concrete is a wonderful invention. Please share some information regarding its manufacture, cement and aggregates that have to be used, mixing,curing and its durability or any other relevant data. I would like to know more and share my knowledge with my students.
I like to know more about smart concrete regarding to its specifications, mix-design, mixing. curing and durability. Would you send me these information?
I want detail information about smart concrete,I want to know about its
ingradients,preparation,applications in diff fields.
Smart Concrete is a wonderfull and very interesting topics.
If you dont mind, would you please detail information about this topics?
I really apreciated for that, thank you.
Does anyone know where i could find out about previous test that has been done dealing with smart concrete
