The invention discloses a brake pad capable of detecting and preventing abrasion. The brake pad comprises a steel plate and a friction block, wherein one end, close to the friction block, of the steel plate is provided with a thickness sensor which can detect the thickness of the friction block, and the thickness sensor is connected with a display device and an alarming device which are installed inside a car. The friction block is made of non-asbestos organic material with glass fibers. By adopting the structure, the thickness sensor can detect the thickness size of the friction block after being abraded and transmit the information to the display device inside the car, and when the abrasion reaches a limit size, the alarming device can be started to issue an alarm. The abrasion situation of the friction block can be monitored by a user at any time through the display device, when the abrasion is too fast, the reason can be immediately examined, and the fast abrasion can be prevented; and in addition, the thickness sensor does not need to stretch into the friction block, no abrasion is caused, so that only the friction block needs to be replaced, the steel plate is unnecessary to replace, the economical efficiency is better, and the cost is low.
