Description

Shrinkage-induced cracking compromises concrete durability, while structural health monitoring typically requires external sensors. This study demonstrates that steel fiber–reinforced concrete (SFRC) can simultaneously mitigate shrinkage and enable intrinsic self-sensing. Sixteen beam specimens (C30 and C35) were cast with 50 mm and 60 mm steel fibers (SF) at dosages of 0.19%, 0.26%, 0.32%, and 0.38%.
