PZT-Based Detection of Compactness of Concrete in Concrete Filled Steel Tube Using Time Reversal Method

A smart aggregate-based approach is proposed for the concrete compactness detection of concrete filled steel tube (CFST) columns. The piezoceramic-based smart aggregates (SAs) were embedded in the predetermined locations prior to the casting of concrete columns to establish a wave-based smart sensin...
