Abstract:
Resistivity can be implemented in quality assurance and quality control operations to assess concrete durability. This article describes a U.S. Department of Transportation Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program project Callentis Consulting Group and Penn State University collaborated on to develop a practical device for measuring pore solution resistivity (PSR) and mixture resistivity and to provide direct calculation of formation factor (FF).
