In this study, the macro steel fiber (SF), carbon fiber (CF) and nano carbon black (NCB) as triphasic\ conductive materials were added into concrete, in order to improve the conductivity and ductility of\ concrete. The influence of NCB, SF and CF on the post crack behavior and conductivity of concrete was\ explored. The effect of the triphasic conductive materials on the self-diagnosing ability to the\ load{\textendash}deflection property and crack widening of conductive concrete member subjected to bending were\ investigated. The relationship between the fractional change in surface impedance (FCR) and the crack\ opening displacement (COD) of concrete beams with conductive materials has been established. The\ results illustrated that there is a linear relationship between COD and FCR.
