Smart Concrete Sensors Catch Cracks Before They Spread
Smart concrete integrates IoT sensors to track strain, moisture, and temperature within structures, providing real-time data on potential issues. This approach enables early detection of problems, minimizes repair costs, and prolongs the lifespan of bridges, buildings, and other infrastructure. Despite the higher initial investment, the long-term advantages in safety, efficiency, and informed design decisions position it as a key advancement in construction technology.
