Episode 1: neurocret chapter number one

The concrete is the second most consumed material on earth and the most widely used construction material in the world(Long & Wang, 2021; Tie et al., 2020); it provides construction of durable, affordable, functional, and attractive structures from buildings to roads, runways, bridges, dams, tunnels, skyscrapers and sewage systems. Since time ago, wet concrete is being poured, and throughout the whole life cycle of the concrete product, many important parameters (such as humidity, temperature, pressure, and load) must be adequately considered ensuring its safety and reliable operation. During its operating stage, it is essential to control aspects of mechanical performance and durability to guarantee that it has reached the required structural strength.
Currently, the use of sensors for the control of aspects, mentioned above, in structures is necessary to monitor the comportment of buildings to mitigate the affectation for use, age of materials, and soil settlement. This practice for monitoring structures is complicated, due to the sensors high cost, resistance, and durability. According to some researches, the use of optical fiber and wireless sensor networks (WSN) is usual, but these elements are not the solution, because a high percentage (70%) of the sensors either fail or are inoperative after their first year (Segura et al., 2019) .It means that the risk of controlling and assessing the resistance and comportment of buildings in real time will be compromised. For this purpose, the real-time health state of constructions needs to be detected and analyzed as a base for maintenance and rehabilitation, and this technique is the so-called structural health monitoring (SHM) Sensors(Cholker & Tantray, 2020; García-Macías et al., 2017), as an important part of SHM, can change their internal conditions with detectable parameters such as stress, strain, and temperature, and thus, reflect the state of buildings. Nonetheless, the proposed SHM methods negates indirect methodologies and may have negative effects on the physical and mechanical properties of cement-based structures(Cai et al., 2021; J. Zhang et al., 2020). Accordingly, electrically conductive cementitious composites (ECCCs) can be an ideal solution. Smart composite materials, ECCCs can themselves serve as sensors to monitor the structural electrical resistivity as to evaluate their structural integrity (Meehan et al., 2010; Junbo Sun et al., 2021)

00:00:00 - Good morning teacher, my name is Rafael and it is my podcast about civil engineer and science.

00:00:14 - Thank you for listening now, I'm going to explain the integration between Neuro and the concrete and it's very important because the humans, the behemoth humans regulate with the neurons, axions and the connections with the signs in a neurotic.

00:00:44 - And the other factor is the use of the concrete in the civil engineer. The concrete is the most popular material in use in the construction around the world. His material had many problems because it's very sensible in the incorporation in his project and it's necessary for the control and regulation in the factors house and temperature and the climatic conditions.

00:01:23 - It's very important how the control in the concrete because it's the life of the structure and represent structures which saves an age contrary.

00:01:37 - What is the project or what is the intention? Because it's important. The important is the regular his concrete with sensors into the concrete and his sensor is a one format of the regulation about the neurotic and the connection with the actions and the neurons in the same behavior in the humans. What is the principle? The neurons can communicate with electric cut a component, electric and conductive, and it is the form of the regulation with the movements and the natural life in the body. The intention is to have his behavior with the neural needs, neurologics, and action between in concrete, the natural more important is have a control with the concrete and in the life in the structure.

00:03:16 - What is the objective?

00:03:17 - The objective is very important, can control it with the heat sensors on the heat electrical conduit into the concrete for represented in the future programs and the first objective is a is represented a promise and the other factor is the more interested is a create a concrete auto sales. Auto sales is mainly in Spanish auto collaborate and one is necessary in many sense of the principles for his alternative. What is the importance of the concrete how-to-self?

00:04:12 - Notice the stutter can have intelligent principles and can and modificates the components for attaining the solutions or an adaptation with the people, with the scenarios. For example, the fourth build and one hospital necessary more elements or more concrete for build one house.

00:04:51 - In the future, the concrete intelligent, the name is neuroconcrete, can adaptation the forms and the his principles for the real condition and adaptation in the chain scrimmated and the problem with the moving of the air. For his reason, the Neural Concrete is very interesting project. Where is the information? Where is the Neural Concrete? The Neural

00:05:33 - Concrete in the moment is development in Spain in the UPC is the University

00:05:43 - Polytechnic of the Catalonia and is a bigger project with the foundation with the government and institution of the Europe. His project had many professionals around the world. China engineers, Colombian engineers and Spanish engineers were representative and is the future of the construction. What is the intention? The intention is and develop intelligence in the materials for the use of for application in the construction. For this reason neuro-concrete can re-imperfect the traditional buildings and the traditional construction and adaptation and new ways of the construction, always an alternative for say the humans and in the future neuroconcrete can use in other planets because it's unregulated with the computers with science the properties into the concrete and in the future the research team use in other planets, for example Mars or other construction, for example in today's sea. For this reason the neuroconcrete is a beautiful project and one goal in development. Thank you teachers for your time for listening this it is a this poor cat in see you again in another location bye bye
