Capacitance-based structural self-sensing of stress: effect of water/cement
Murat Ozturk
Abstract:The compressive stress self-sensing properties of mortars with different water-cement ratios are investigated without the need for any conductive additives. Mortar specimens are cyclically loaded and the corresponding capacitance and resistance are measured. The aluminum foil that is used as the electrode is wrapped around the prismatic sample. A coplanar configuration of electrodes is used. Capacitance and resistance increase with increasing water/ cement (W/C) ratio. Stress causes decrease in capacitance and… Show more
