Abstract | In this study, alkali-activated slag/fly ash mortars with steel fiber (SF-AAFS) were prepared with different steel fiber shape (straight and hooked-end) and fiber content (0.2 vol%, 0.4 vol%, 0.6 vol% and 0.8 vol%). The electrical resistivity and the piezoresistive property of these SF-AAFS mixtures under cyclic compression and three-point bending was investigated. Digital image correlation (DIC) technology was employed to assess the crack propagation process under three-point bending loads. The results demonstrated that SF-AAFS mortars exhibited satisfactory electrical conductivity and piezoresistivity. The increase of steel fiber content resulted in a higher gauge factor (51.33–155.26). Furthermore, SF-AAFS mortars could effectively detect the occurrence of initial cracking by monitoring the changes in resistivity. In conjunction with DIC analysis, it is found that specimens with straight fibers demonstrated a linear relationship (at a fiber content of 0.4 vol%, the |
