Cement-based sensors offer low cost, ease of installation, and compatibility with existing building materials, and can also provide real-time monitoring data to detect and diagnose potential issues before they become major problems. This book sets out the principles of the sensing mechanisms, fabrication techniques, and performance evaluation along with several case studies. It also provides a glimpse into a future where concrete structures will not only stand as pillars of strength but also become an indispensable part of smart cities as the core of automation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book suits researchers, engineers, and practitioners involved in design, construction, and maintenance of concrete buildings and infrastructure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWengui Li is a Scientia Associate Professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the group leader of \u003ci\u003eIntelligent Concrete and Infrastructure Materials \u003c\/i\u003ein the Centre for Infrastructure Engineering and Safety (CIES) at The University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney), Australia.
