A new material was tested and its applicability was investigated so as to give the capability of self-diagnosis of fracture in composite mortar. In the research for giving self-diagnosis capability, conductive mortar intermixed with cokes and carbon fiber powder(milled carbon fiber) was developed and its using for self-diagnosis material was proposed. Then after examining change in the value of electric resistance and AE characteristics before and after the occurrence of cracks at each weight-stage, the relationships of each factors were analyzed. As the results, it can be recognized that a new composite material with cokes and carbon fiber powder(milled carbon fiber) can be applied for self-diagnosis of fracture in mortar specimen.

Two types of conductive materials are selected and their applicable properties are investigated so as to give the capability of self-diagnosis of fracture in composite mortar, concrete and reinforced concrete. In this study, for giving selfdiagnosis capability, the powder of cokes and milled carbon fiber as conductive materials are selected and intermixed with mortar, concrete and reinforced concrete. After examining change in the value of electric resistance before and after the occurrence of cracks at each flexural load-stage in composite mortar, concrete or reinforced concrete, the relationships of each factors (electric resistance, crack and flexural load) are analyzed. As the results, it can be recognized that conductive materials with powder of cokes and milled carbon fiber can be applied for self-diagnosis of flexural fracture in composite mortar, concrete and reinforced concrete specimen.
