Abstract

Cement-based nanocomposite filled with only 0.1 wt.% multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT) (MNFRC), or hybrid with 0.1 wt.% MWNT and 0.5 wt.% microsized short carbon fiber (SCF) (SF/MNFRC), were prepared employing surfactant ultrasonic dispersion and high-speed mixing process. The electrical resistivities (ρ), compressive stresses (σ), and longitudinal strains (ε1) of these cured nanocomposites under cyclic uploading/unloading were simultaneously collected, to characterize their stress/strain-sensitive properties. There exists good piezoresisitivity and high strain sensitivity for MNFRC. The fractional change in ρ (Δρ) regularly descends or ascends following the σ, or the el of MNFRC (the Δρ/ε1 sensitivity near 68). Hybrid of SCF is found to be more effective to improve the self-sensing repeatability and variation stability of the SF/MNFRC rather than the self-sensing sensitivity (the Δρ/ε1 sensitivity only about 64).
