Based on the above features, carbon fiber reinforced concrete materials can be used in the temperature and deformation self diagnosis and adaptive aspects of concrete structures, such as intelligent deicing and snow melting system of concrete pavement [5]. But the production process of continuous carbon fiber is relatively complex, the price is higher; and the short cut carbon fiber mixed with concrete, need the chopped carbon fiber completely uniformly dispersed in the concrete, it is a big problem in materials, the functional properties of carbon fiber reinforced concrete material is affected, especially the heating effects the size based conductive network formation in carbon fiber, namely by carbon fiber components reduce the concrete resistance and Joule heat.
