Abstract: This paper talks about the concept of using the Piezo-resistive properties of Carbon fiber reinforced concrete, which behaves as an intrinsically smart concrete. Behavior of steel fiber reinforced and carbon fiber reinforced concrete is discussed in short. The core ingredients and additives used in Carbon fiber reinforced smart concrete are discussed in detail. Then the mechanism of Piezo-resistivity in the material is explained. The process of preparing the concrete, the various aspects involved, the Wenner four pin method is explained. The authors then propose some prospective applications which make use of the given material. Despite invention in 1992, this material is not being commercially used. Possible reasons for this are described. Conclusion and References follow.
