The study discusses the strength development of fresh concrete using fuzzy logic on Electromechanical impedance(EMI) data collected through Piezoelectric(PZT) sensors. For gaining data to estimate real time strength development of concrete through sensors, 3 specimens of concrete were casted for experiment. The PZT sensors were embedded in experimented concrete to perform dual job of actuating and sensing. In this technique with poring of concrete the PZT material starts actuating to produce vibrations, for the same time these materials work as sensors and measure the dynamic responses of the vibrations. Thus, with development of concrete strength the resonant frequencies of EMI start changing. The process of measuring data was continued for every hour for 28 days, after getting EMI data, it was treated by fuzzy logic technique to get a clear strength curve for defining strength development pattern. The change observed in EMI data curve leads to estimating concrete strength.
