Adopting alternative energy sources becomes imperative, despite the existing technical and practical obstacles in its implementation. This study aimed to explore harvesting potential of thermoelectric effect on concrete surfaces. By examining impact incorporating graphite powder into (at 0.5–2.5% cement weight) steel fiber 1–2% volume), we investigated compared thermal, electrical, mechanical properties concrete. The findings revealed that adding at a 2.5% weight-to-cement ratio led maximum upper surface temperature 50.4°C subsequently generated voltage 0.27 volts. However, side temperature, located same position, yielded lower results than surface. It is crucial incorporate device for converting voltage, necessitating shallow placement near high-temperature, well-tempered pavement ensure efficient harvesting.
