The data "Cement-based sensors.zip" is pertinent to the study in the paper "Electrical impedance behaviour of carbon fibre reinforced cement-based sensors at different moisture contents" published in the Journal of construction and building materials.
The purpose of collecting the data was to understand the impedance behaviour of cement-based sensors at different fibre and moisture contents, which facilitates the in-situ use of cement-based sensors.
The data contains information of the mass, moisture content, saturation degree, and bulk impedances measured at each drying time.
Nine individual excel spread sheets are included in the zip file. Each named as "sensor + number". The number is the volume percentage of the fibres incorporated.
Each spread sheet contains information collected through the monotonic drying test and the impedance measurement.
In each column:
Rb refers to "bulk resistance"
Sb refers to "bulk conductivity"
MC refers to "moisture content"
SD refers to "saturation degree"
FCS refers to "fractional change in bulk conductivity"
