Measuring Transport Properties of Portland Cement Concrete Using Electrical Resistivity

This project aims to study the effects of resistivity testing of common materials used in the making of concrete mixture in Illinois; investigate the existence of correlations between resistivity testing and other known means of characterizing transport properties; and to investigate the existence of correlations between resistivity testing and standardized methods for durability testing of concrete.
