Abstract: This paper presents the preliminary results of an ongoing experimental program aiming at assessing the piezoresistivity of carbon textile reinforced concrete dumbbell specimens un-der monotonic tensile loading, along the direction of loading. During testing both longitudinal strain and longitudinal electrical resistivity were recorded; electrical resistivity measurements were realized using a high-precision multimeter. The results of this experimental campaign may be used for setting the ground for establishing appropriate correlation fac-tors between damage progression and piezoresistivity properties for TRC elements.
