Abstract

The future of smart construction relies on the development of smarter construction materials that offer multifunctional properties. Alkali-activated materials are smart, self-sensing construction materials that are more scalable, affordable, and reproducible than conventional self-sensing composites. This study presents the first self-sensing alkali-activated material that achieves compressive strength above 50 MPa and highly piezoresistive (58% at 10 MPa) without the need for conductive additives. This is an exceptional improvement to conventional smart construction materials for structural health monitoring.
