Self-Adjusting Concrete

Self-adjusting concrete has the capability to adjust its internal structures (e.g., pore structures) and performances (e.g., heat capacity, moisture content, and hydration process) under external actions. It mainly includes moisture self-adjusting concret

Preface

With the rapid consumption of more and more resources, the quality of energy stored in resources decreases to cause the relentless increase in entropy on the earth. Due to material performance, degeneration and external action failures are inevitable during the service of structures. Material and structure system sinks into a crisis of entropy increment, i.e., availability loss. With the advance of science and technology and the upgrading of social demand, materials have been driven to further develop toward material/structure integration, structure/function integration, and multifunctionality/intelligence integration for defusing this crisis. Smart and multifunctional material is an area of technology that is integrated with sensing and actuation functionalit
