Enhancing Homeland Security by Using Self-Sensing Concrete A contemporary topic

Tsunami

Levee breach

Homeland security National security against manmade and natural disasters

Technological approaches  Border monitoring  Building security enhancement  Building/city evacuation monitoring  Structural improvement  Chemical sensing  Disaster prediction

Self-sensing concrete Concrete that can sense its own condition

Self-sensing Ability of the structural material to sense itself without any embedded or attached sensor

Advantages of self-sensing  Low cost  High durability  Large sensing volume  Absence of mechanical property loss

Types of self-sensing  Strain/stress sensing  Damage sensing

Applications of strain/stress sensing  Traffic monitoring  Border security  Building facility management  Building security  Structural vibration control  Weighing  Earthquake prediction

Applications of damage sensing  Structural health monitoring  Hazard mitigation

Border security  Vehicle monitoring  Pedestrian monitoring

Building security Room occupancy monitoring Evacuation monitoring Intruder detection Damage monitoring

Self-sensing concrete material Cement-matrix composite containing discontinuous, randomly oriented and well-dispersed carbon fiber

Carbon fiber is not the sensor. The composite is the sensor.

Effects of fiber on concrete  Increase the flexural strength  Increase the flexural toughness  Decrease the drying shrinkage.  Increase the electrical conductivity  Render the self-sensing ability

Why not continuous fiber?  High cost  Cannot be incorporated in mix  Provides less effective self-sensing than discontinuous fiber

Carbon fiber  15 μm diameter  5 mm long  Amorphous (turbostratic)  Isotropic pitch based

Percolation threshold

Reasons for low fiber content  High conductivity is not required for self-sensing  Workability  Low cost  Compression strength

Below the percolation threshold Poor fiber dispersionGood fiber dispersion

Fiber dispersion techniques  Fine particulate admixture (silica fume, 0.1 μm)  Surfactant (methylcellulose)  Fiber surface treatment (ozone)  Rigorous premixing

Scientific origin of the self-sensing of strain Piezoresistivity (not piezoelectricity)

Piezoresistivity  Change of electrical resistivity due to strain  Gage factor = fractional change in resistance per unit strain (more than 2)  Gage factor up to 700 attained in carbon fiber reinforced cement

Crack Fiber

Method Measure the electrical resistance using a meter

Uniaxial tension

With carbon fiber Flexure Surface resistance at compression side

Surface resistance at tension side With carbon fiber Flexure

Conventional concrete Self-sensing cement coating

Alternate scheme for flexural sensing  Coating the tension or compression side of a conventional concrete slab with self-sensing cement  Coating on the tension side gives higher sensitivity than coating on the compression side.

Self-sensing implementation in buildings Coat the ceiling with self-sensing cement.

Carbon fiber vs. carbon nanofiber  Nanofiber is less effective as a reinforcement.  Nanofiber fails to provide self-sensing.

Conclusion 1  Multifunctional cement-based materials have been attained without compromising the structural performance.

Conclusion 2  Carbon fiber cement is effect for the self-sensing of strain and damage, due to the reversible effect of strain on the electrical resistivity and the irreversible effect of damage on the resistivity.
