Smart Aggregate-Piezoceramic Patch Combination for Health Monitoring of Concrete Structures

A new method combining an embedded smart aggregate and surface mounted piezoceramic patches is introduced for health monitoring of concrete structures. The smart aggregate is embedded in a concrete beam as an actuator (or transmitter), and piezoceramic patches are attached on the surface of the conc...
