It is fabricated through incorporating piezoelectric, thermoelectric, and photovoltaic (PV) materials into conventional concrete (Bhattacharjee et al, 2010;Henderson, 2009;Jagadeesan, 2011;Park et al, 2012;Qiao et al, 2011;Sudevalayam and Kulkarni, 2011). Israel first developed the energy harvesting concrete including piezoelectric electric generators and embedded it into a road to store traffic-generated energy.…”

Smart concretes and structures are intelligent systems that have properties different from normal concrete, such as selfsensing and self-healing properties, or have the ability to react upon an external stimulus, such as stress and temperature. The ''smartness'' of concrete and structures is achieved through material composition design, special processing, introduction of other functional components, or modification of the microstructure. They are designed to meet specific requirements through tailored properties for improving serviceability, safety, reliability, longevity, and durability of the infrastructures and reducing the life-cycle costs of the infrastructures. This article reviews the recent researches of various smart concretes and structures, with attentions to their principles, fabrication, and properties. Future challenges in the development and applications of smart concretes and structures are also discussed.

Several methods for corrosion monitoring of reinforced concrete structures (RCS) have been proposed in the last few decades. These systems may be used either in new, existing or repaired structures. The corrosion monitoring can be performed by different methodologies. These may or may not be destructive, use different degrees of complexity and cost, and provide information on the progression and kinetics of the corrosion phenomena. The destructive methods are limited to sampling. Therefore, these may not be representative of the whole structure, which is extremely important in RCS with large heterogeneities both in terms of materials used and in terms of the exposure environment. Within this context, non-destructive methods have been widely developed, which are intended to provide quick information about the entire structure. Ideally, these systems should be able to detect the corrosion state of the steel inside the concrete, the main causes of corrosion and the evolution of corrosion phenomena over time. This manuscript reviews and summarizes the actual state of the art and the main achievements in the field of electrochemical sensors based on non-destructive methods for corrosion monitoring of RCS in the last few years. The challenges and perspectives in this field will also be discussed.

This work presents energy harvesting techniques from low-voltage current used to prevent galvanic corrosion between a metallic structure and a permanent copper/copper sulfate (Cu/CuSO4) reference electrode. Supercapacitors are adopted to compensate for or overcome the limitations of batteries. Then, a boost converter is used to convert the low voltage levels of galvanic corrosion to that needed by the complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technologies used for the wireless sensor systems. Experimental results show that our proposed harvesting schemes significantly reduce the overhead of the charging circuitry, which enables nearly full charging of supercapacitors of up to 350 F under the low power conditions of 3 mW (i.e., 3 mA at 1 V). More importantly, our system enables maintenance-free operation of remote-monitoring cathodic protection (RMCP) systems in harsh environments, where sunlight or wind power may be unavailable or unpredictable.
