Use of the Arduino Platform for the Piezoresistivity Analysis in Self-Sensing Cement Composites
Concrete structures are susceptible to several factors during their life cycles, which can cause various problems. This situation can be avoided in many cases if Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is used. However, such monitoring is often expensive due to the large number of sensors and the use of...

| description | Concrete structures are susceptible to several factors during their life cycles, which can cause various problems. This situation can be avoided in many cases if Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is used. However, such monitoring is often expensive due to the large number of sensors and the use of data acquisition systems (DAQ). In this context, self-sensing cement composites (SSCCs), monitoring themselves without sensors by incorporating conductive fillers in their composition, provide a better piezoresistive effect. In this research, the Arduino platform and analog to digital converters (ADC) modules were tested, and a prototype of a low-cost DAQ was developed for monitoring SSCCs. The devices were analyzed from the compression tests on the mortar specimens, and the results were compared to measurements obtained from the reference equipment (professional DAQ). The results showed a good sensitivity and an adequate correlation between both devices in some cases. It showed that the Arduino platform has the potential to be used in the experimental monitoring of SSCCs, however it needs to be combined with an ADC module. |
