Utilization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in concrete for structural health monitoring (SHM) purposes: A review

Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) as a functional filler can increase the electrical conductivity property of concrete and thus provide intrinsic self-sensing properties with no need for external sensors to monitor the behavior of concrete infrastructure and structures containing CNT. CNT-cement composites also improve mechanical strength and have higher energy absorption capacity. The sensitivity of their electrical conductivity to external physical …
