Electrical resistance of carbon fiber cement composites under compression
The incorporation of a small volume of carbon fibers into a concrete mixture produces a strong, durable concrete and at the same time lends the product a smart material property. Durability is enhanced because of increased crack resistance and the carbon fiber's high resistance to wear, heat and corrosion. The smart property is a damage-sensing ability. This intrinsic capability can be tapped by using simple electrical resistance techniques. There is the potential for these techniques to be used as nondestructive testing methods to assess the integrity of the composite. The results of some fundamental investigations an the bulk electrical properties of carbon fiber cement composites (CFCC) under compressive loading are presented. Well-defined patterns are exhibited in the electrical resistance behavior that can be correlated with the stress-strain behavior. The resistance behavior was evaluated for various fiber volume contents. The effects of taking resistance measurements both parallel and perpendicular to the axis of loading were investigated.
