The acoustic impedance (Z c ) and electromechanical coupling coefficient (K t ) of composites were experimentally investigated as a function of BT ceramic content. When BT ceramic content increases from 30 to 70 vol%, Z c values increases from 8.51 to 14.32 kg⋅m −2 s −1 . According to the results, the composites with BT ceramic content of 30 to 50 vol% showed Z c values matching with concrete materials. In addition, with the optimum BT ceramic content of 30 to 50 vol% where the K t values of composites were 17.31 to 19.59%. These composites therefore have promising characteristics for potential use as smart materials for structural health monitoring applications in concrete structures.
