“…A couple of assumptions and conclusions in Lataste et al 's work [10] may not be adaptable with reality. First, it was assumed that the rebar effect on the resistivity measurements is independent of crack depth or type which might not be true for the cases that rebar mesh or conductive crack present.…”

“…In this section, some researchers' investigations in order to characterize cracks in concrete conducted by electrical resistivity measurements are summarized. Lataste et al [10] attempt to identify and locate cracks and spalling in concrete by means of electrical resistivity. For this a utilized instrument was built to measure the electrical resistivity through the use of four electrodes in a square configuration, rather than linearly conventional Wenner probe arrangement ( Figure 6).…”

Degradation processes in reinforced concrete structures that affect durability are partially controlled by transport of aggressive ions through the concrete microstructure. Ions are charged and the ability of concrete to hold out against transfer of ions greatly relies on its electrical resistivity. Hence, a connection could be expected between electrical resistivity of concrete and the deterioration processes such as increase in permeability and corrosion of embedded steel. Through this paper, an extensive literature review has been done to address relationship between concrete electrical resistivity and its certain durability characteristics. These durability characteristics include chloride diffusivity and corrosion of reinforcement as these have major influence on concrete degradation process. Overall, there exists an inverse or direct proportional correlation between these parameters. Evaluated results, from measuring the concrete electrical resistivity, can also be used as a great indicator to identify early age characteristics of fresh concrete and for evaluation of its properties, determination of moisture content, connectivity of the micropores, and even condition assessment of in-service structures. This paper also reviews and assesses research concerning the influential parameters such as environmental conditions and presence of steel rebar and cracks on measuring electrical resistivity of concrete. Moreover, concrete resistivity concept, application, and its various measurement techniques are introduced.

“…The rapid chloride permeability test, which is based on electrical conductivity, is widely applied in the estimation of the durability of CBMs (Aashto, 2015;ASTM, 2010;Xiao et al, 2016). Electrical properties are also frequently considered as effective ways of studying the early-age properties of CBMs (Dong et al, 2016;Xiao and Li, 2008) and detecting cracks in CBMs (Lataste et al, 2003;Taillet et al, 2014).…”

Electrical conductivity is one of the most important indicators of the durability, impermeability and frost resistance of cement-based materials (CBMs). It is also a main performance parameter for some special CBMs such as insulating concrete and electrically conductive concrete. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between electrical conductivity and saturation degree of CBMs more deeply by considering the pore size distribution (PSD), which is described in a new way. The distribution of the pore solution (the main conducting medium) in CBMs was analysed by considering the PSD function, the Kelvin equation and theories of capillary and surface adsorption. According to the pore solution distribution and conductivity theory, a conducting tube network model was established. The curves obtained by the proposed model were found to fit the experimental data well. The conducting tube network model was then used to analyse the factors influencing the electrical conductivity of CBMs. The conclusions obtained from this study were that the electrical conductivity of CBMs varies with the relative ratio of large and small pores and the mean value and standard deviation of large pores, and that the electrical conductivity of CBMs is proportional to the pore solution conductivity and porosity of the CBM.

Instrumentation system for testing of conductive concrete material using four-electrode method has been built. The system can measure material resistivity under the influence of voltage-injection variable, temperature changing in the characterization reactor, as well as the duration of the material characterization. The system uses an ACS-172 electrical current sensor, a DS-1820 temperature sensor to measure the temperature of the material, a SHT-11 sensor to measure the temperature and humidity of the material characterization reactor, and a DS-1307 RTC (RealTime Clock) system for timing system and reference for controlling the duration of the material testing. The standard method of instrument for measure has been developed based on four electrode method. The system of instrumentation can be measured to numerical value of electrical conductivity and resistivity on material. This instrumentation system which has a heating reactor for the material sample, uses AVR-ATmega-128 as the controller element, and also has an computer interface to connect with LabVIEW-National Instrument. This system can be operated in dual-mode, that is automatic and manual mode. The automatic mode can be generated standard configuration based on computer connection (this part can be displayed a numerical data and real-time graph, and also has to recording/saving a numerical data), whereas manual mode only displayed of data without computer connection. The system of instrument has been developed to measure of electrical resistivity/conductivity, temperature and humidity in reactor, electrical current injected, voltage injection and voltage load on sample, and also setting of real-time date/time for automatic control process of characterization with variation of voltage injection, temperature/humidity, and time for material characterization process.
