Self-sensing concrete has the capability to sense the conditions itself such as crack, damage, strain, deformation etc. through incorporating functional fillers or sensing component. It is also known as self-monitoring or self-diagnosing concrete. Here conductive fillers are going to be incorporated as additives to concrete. The conductive fillers using in this study are nanomaterials such as multi-walled carbon nanotube, carbon black. The preliminary test of cement and aggregates were done. Mix is fixed based on the workability tests and compressive strength tests as per IS 10262:2009. Electrical resistivity of concrete cube specimens with and without conductive fillers were measured. The cube specimens with conductive fillers showed good change in electrical resistivity response than control cube specimens, under the application of load. Electrical resistivity, change in electrical resistivity due to the application of load of specimens incorporated with different conductive fillers are to be evaluated.
