New concrete can monitor itself

Article Abstract:

The details of a study, pioneered by Deborah Chung of the State University of New York at Buffalo, on the importance of sensors, in the wake of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, are presented. This can be done by introducing small carbon fibers into the concrete mix, thereby creating a material which incorporates its own sensors.
