Comparative Relationship between Electrical Resistivity of Concrete and Chloride Diffusivity
Since electrical resistivity of concrete can be measured in a more rapid and simple way than chloride diffusivity, it should be primarily regular quality control of the electrical resistivity of concrete which provides the basis for indirect of quality control of chloride diffusivity during concrete construction. If this is realized, the electrical resistivity of concrete can be a crucial parameter to establish maintenance strategy for marine concrete structures. The purpose of this study is to develop, design and test a surface electrical resistivity measurement protocol. The outcome of this study can provide a non‐destructive approach that assists in identifying the bulk concrete resistivity which can then be correlated to chloride diffusivity.
