L2M – Smart Concrete for Structural Health Monitoring (SCSHM)

This project explores the development and application of smart concrete an innovative construction material enhanced with advanced sensing and self-monitoring capabilities. Unlike conventional concrete, smart concrete integrates conductive or functional additives that enable it to detect stress, strain, cracks, and environmental changes in real time. This technology addresses critical global challenges by improving infrastructure durability, reducing maintenance costs, and enhancing public safety. Our research focuses on optimizing material composition, evaluating mechanical and electrical properties, and testing performance under various environmental and structural conditions. By combining sustainability with intelligent functionality, this project aims to create greener, longer-lasting, and safer infrastructure solutions while paving the way for future smart cities and environmentally responsible construction practices.
