Study on Multifunctional Carbon Fabric Reinforced Sea Water and Sea Sand Concrete Composite Component System
 

Ph.D Student: 

Liu Jiarong

Project Background:

The durability issue of existing reinforced concrete structures is becoming increasingly urgent, and there is a shortage of freshwater river sand resources for new concrete projects. Based on carbon fiber's dual functions of reinforcement and self-sensing, the development of a multifunctional carbon fabric reinforced seawater and sea-sand concrete composite member system (ICCP-SS-SHM) that combines impressed current cathodic protection, structural strengthening, and structural health monitoring, can achieve construction informatization and intelligence, avoid sudden accidents in structures, and has a significant meaning.

 

Aims & Goals:

1. To improve the bonding performance between carbon fabric and mortar to enhance mechanical performance of the composite; 
2. Applying ICCP to prevent steel corrosion in structures and promoting seawater and sea sand usage to address river sand scarcity;
3. Utilizing fabric modification, piezoresistive effect, and ICCP to create a multifunctional structural system for cathodic protection, structural strengthening, and health monitoring, advancing construction industry intelligence.
