The purpose performance degradation of concrete structures is generally caused by deteriorations, such as surface collapse, pop-out, crack, and so on. It may result in serious defects of the concrete structures. Thus it is very important 세 detect and repair the defects of concrete structures within a proper time to assure the structural safety. However, the defects due to the deteriorations are usually difficult to find by visual inspection. A sensor is developed in this study, which may give early indication for degradation of concrete structures and show the location of the damage. Cracks can be defected by the liquid in a small glass capsules which are embedded in the concrete structures. This paper discusses the applicability of that was developed smart concrete.
