Abstract
Electrical resistivity, a measurable parameter of the state of concrete, plays an important role in the assessment of reinforced concrete structures. An experimental study using two-electrode method has been conducted to evaluate the resistivity of Portland cement concrete. Internal and external electrodes were varied in order to understand effect of the electrodes configuration, where carbon fibre (CF) sheets were employed as the internal electrodes and CF and copper sheets were used as external electrodes. Furthermore, frequency of applied current was varied from low to high, to identify the most suitable frequency that can be utilized for stable and reliable results. Optimised internal electrodes configuration and the current frequency of 10,000 Hz were used to measure the resistivity on a series of concrete cubes, which were made using three different water to cement ratios and four different chloride contents.
