This study investigated the effects of carbon fiber (CF) length, electrode spacing, and probe configuration on the electrical conductivity of cement composites. Accordingly, 57 different types of samples were prepared, considering three different CF lengths, five different CF contents, three different electrode spacings, and two different probe configurations. This research found that the influence of CF length on the electrical resistivity of cement composite depends electrode spacing. For the cement composite with wide electrode spacing of 40 mm, its resistivity decreased as increasing CF length as in the previous study. However, when the electrode spacing is 10 mm, which is narrow (10 mm), the resistivity of the cement composite rather increased with increasing CF length. The results implied that when an electrode is designed for the cement composite incorporating CF, the CF length should be short compared to the electrode spacing. The percolation threshold of CF measured by the two-probe configuration was 2% or more. This is higher than that measured by the four-probe configuration (1%). At a lower CF content than 2%, the two-probe configuration gave higher resistivity of the cement composite than the four-probe configuration. However, the difference coming from the different probe configurations was marginal as increasing the CF content.

Thermoelectric properties of steel slag-carbon fiber/cement composites were studied in this paper. The effect of steel slag content on thermoelectric properties was focused on especially. The experimental results show that the addition of steel slag leads to an increase in the positive thermoelectric power of the cabon fiber/cement composites. The highest absolute thermoelectric power of carbon fiber/cement composites was rendered as positive as 14.4µV/°C by using steel slag, which had a high concentration of holes. Beside, a good linear relationship was observed between thermoelectric power and temperature differential on the specimen.

In order to investigate conductive mechanism of carbon fiber filled cement-based composites, the conductive properties of cement paste, carbon fiber filled cement-based composites containing different contents of carbon fibers or aggregates were studied. Experimental results indicate that the electrical resistance of the plain cement paste obviously increases with hydration time, which results from the ionic conduction in strong electrolyte solution. The electrical resistivity of the carbon fiber filled cement-based composites decreases with the increase of fiber content. Both contacting conduction and ionic conduction are in charge of the electrical conduction in these composites. The electrical resistivity of the carbon fiber filled cement-based composites decreases under compression, which is due to the improvement of interface contact between matrix and fibers and the increase of fiber bridging probability. The fiber pull-out and breaking under tension lead to an increase in electrical resistivity of these composites. Aggregates block fiber dispersion and contact. This causes an increase in electrical resistivity of the composites.

Structural health monitoring for carbon nanotube (CNT)/carbon fiber/epoxy composite was verified by the measurement of electrical resistivity. This study has focused on the preparation of carbon nanotube composite sensors and their application for structural health monitoring. The change of the electrical resistance was measured by a digital multimeter under tensile loads. Although a carbon fiber was broken, the electrical connection was still kept by distributed CNT particles in the model composites. As the number of carbon fiber breakages increased, electrical resistivity was stepwise increased. The CNT composites were well responded with fiber damages during the electro-micromechnical test. Carbon nanotube composites can be useful sensors for structural health monitoring to diagnose a structural safety and to prevent a collapse.
