Abstract:
Electrical Resistivity: An Opportunity for Transportation Agencies Electrical testing of concrete has been around for more than a century, and advances over the last twenty years have transformed it into a portable and very rapid testing technology. At its heart, the technology assesses qualities of pore structure, important to fluid and mass transport, and ultimately gives an indicator of durability of concrete materials in our infrastructure. Resistivity can be an effective way for agencies to ensure they are getting consistent and durable concrete materials, in a way that allows material suppliers to innovate on how to achieve the goal of long-lasting infrastructure.
