Structural health monitoring using sensor technology is one of the most promising ways that can provide an excellent means for protecting important structures such as bridges, dams, and nuclear reactors. These sensors provide real-time information about structural conditions such as strain, temperature, and vibration. The information obtained from these sensors can later be analyzed and compared with the design data; the process allows the early detection of problems. This paper presents experimental results on two types of sensors to verify their behavior, accuracy, and applicability for strain monitoring of concrete applications. The investigation included concrete curing-behavior test, thermal test, accuracy test, and other tests to assess the mechanical properties of concrete with embedded sensors.
