Abstract

This study presents the concept of a carbon based-sensory textile reinforced concrete (TRC) element that combines an advanced material/structural system with sensing capabilities. The concept is based on the use of glass and carbon fiber based textile for the reinforcement of thin-walled concrete elements and, at the same time, to use the electro-mechanical properties of the carbon components as a sensory device. This combination aims to provide the structure with the structural and sensory features required for an intelligent load bearing system. The research presents the applicability of the concept to crack detection and damage quantification, and to detection of water infiltration. The study presents the feasibility of the hybrid TRC structures and reviews the challenges that should be faced in order to bring the technology into realization in the future.
