Influence of carbon fiber contents on the temperature sensibility of CFRC road material

Abstract

The relationship between the electrical resistivity of carbon fiber reinforced concrete (CFRC) containing different carbon fiber contents and temperature was studied. it is found that carbon fiber contents influence greatly on the temperature sensibility of CFRC road material. Only with a certain amount of carbon fiber can CFRC show a sensitive and stable temperature sensibility.

Keywords
