Abstract

The feasibility of electro-mechanical impedance (EMI) sensing technique, utilizing piezo-ceramic (PZT) patches, for online strength gain monitoring of early age concrete is investigated. An experimental study is conducted on PZT patch instrumented concrete specimens. The applicability of the EMI sensing technique for strength gain monitoring is discussed.
