1. IntroductionPrecast concrete segmental bridges (PCSBs) present numerous advantages, including consistent quality, rapid construction, precise engineering control, cost-effectiveness, durability, and environmental benefits [1,2,3]. The use of precast segments significantly boosts structural resilience by facilitating swift replacement of damaged segments, thereby ensuring rapid functional restoration of segmental structures post damage [4].

AbstractPiezoelectric materials convert between mechanical and electrical energy and are a basis for self-powered electronics. Current piezoelectrics exhibit either large charge (d33) or voltage (g33) coefficients but not both simultaneously, and yet the maximum energy density for energy harvesting is determined by the transduction coefficient: d33*g33.
