[12] Annamdas Yaowen Yang, Chee Kiong Soh (2010)[9], International Journal Of
Civil And Structural Engineering Volume 1, No 3, presented paper titled as
“Impedance based concrete monitoring using embedded PZT sensors” presented a
health monitoring study of concrete specimens using embedded piezoelectric
transducer (PZT) via electromechanical (EM) impedance technique. The main
objective of this research was to present a very easy method of embedding PZT sensor
 in concrete for monitoring either fresh or cured concrete. This paper presents a double
protection wrap method employing both metal and non-metal, where the first
protection is provided by a steel wire mesh and the second is by cement paste. The
implementation was verified on various lab sized concrete cubes and the observations
were examined by statistical analysis.

[14] Cedric Dumoulin, Grigoris Karaiskos and Arnaud Deraemaeker [11], presented
paper titled as “Monitoring of crack propagation in reinforced concrete beams using
embedded piezoelectric transducers”. In this paper, Non Destructive Testing is
applied using piezoelectric transducers embedded in the structure. Embedded
piezoelectric transducers (Smart Aggregates) have been recently developed. In this
study, these transducers are used to detect and follow the crack propagation in a
reinforced concrete beam subjected to a three-point bending test. Two different types
of excitation signals are used (pulse and chirp) and the resulting waves are recorded
on the receivers. Based on these signals, different damage indicators are investigated
and compared.
