Members of the research group SICon publish an article in the journal Cement and Concrete Composites.
The article “Smart laying mortars for masonry structures: effects of lime/cement ratio and carbon nanomaterials content on self-sensing behavior” is available in vol. 145, 2023, of the journal.
The authors are researchers of the Departments of Civil Engineering of the Federal University of Viçosa and the Federal University of Minas Gerais. Those are:
Gustavo Henrique Nalon, José Carlos Lopes Ribeiro, Leonardo Gonçalves Pedroti, Roberto Marcio da Silva, Eduardo Nery Duarte de Araújo and Gustavo Emilio Soares de Lima.
This study developed a factorial experiment to investigate the electrical resistivity, gauge factor, stress sensitivity and compressive strength of mortars with different lime/cement proportions and carbon black nanoparticles (CBN) contents.
