摘要:In the construction industry concrete has been a major constituent which has been adopted widely due to its easiness in construction and maintenance. Concrete has been used for many years as a composite material that has excellent strength properties and durability, but it is a poor electrical conductor. Concrete that is excellent in both mechanical and electrical conductivity properties may have important applications in the electrical, electronic and military, hence the conductive concrete has been evolved.Conductive concrete is a cement-based composite that contains electronically conductive components to attain stable and relatively high conductivity. Potential applications include electrical heating for de-icing of parking garages, sidewalks,driveways, highway bridges, and airport runways, as well as electrical grounding.
