2 Outline Background Basic Terms Background Why Measure Electrical Properties Background What Influences the Results Background Important Outside Influences Conditioning Test Kit -- Proceq Resipod Test Methods Uniaxial Surface Using the spreadsheet Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 2 of 45
3 Starting with Basic Terms I want to start todays discussion with a few basic terms that we will use to make sure everyone is on the same page Electrical Resistance Electrical Resistivity Electrical Conductance Electrical Conductivity All Terms are Related and We Want to Be Clear Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 3 of 45
4 Ohms Law For a wide variety of materials have a relationship between voltage and current that are directly proportional to each other Proportionality constant Named after Georg Ohm (1827) Actually Discovered by Cavendish ( ) A professor who preached such heresies was unworthy to teach science Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 4 of 45
5 Resistance Is resistance a material property? L Voltage R A V=IR Current Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 5 of 45
6 Resistivity Independent of Geometry RA L Copper 1.68 x 10-8 ohm m Carbon 3 (60) x 10-5 ohm m Glass 1 (10000) x 10 9 ohm m Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 6 of 45
7 Inverse of Resistivity The inverse of resistivity is conductivity (s) 1 s L RA Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 7 of 45
8 Uniaxial Test Geometry ρ = R A L Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 8 of 45
9 OK Now What So we measure resistance and compute a resistivity that is geometry independent But why are we doing this Said simply who cares or why should we care about the electrical resistivity of the concrete Simply said resistivity is related to durability but how is this the case We will see math but I want to look at the concept not the math Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 9 of 45
10 Durability Related to Transport Concrete protects steel from deicing salts Deicing Salt Cover Reinforcing Bar Salt can be absorbed or can diffuse in the pores and when it reaches the rebar it can depassivate the steel and cause corrosion Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 10 of 45
11 How Long Does it Take Chloride to Reach the Bar The chloride will migrate to the bar over time How long does it take to reach a critical level Depends on the quality of the concrete and the depth of the reinforcement Chloride At the Bar Critical Value Time Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 11 of 45
12 Durability Related to Transport Concrete protects steel from deicing salts Deicing Salt 1 erf x 4Dt = Cx Co Cs Co Cover Reinforcing Bar x distance from surface t is time C is the chloride concentration D is a material property that describes the diffusion rate Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 12 of 45
13 Simply Said Higher D causes ions to move faster High w/c (high porosity) High paste content Lower D causes ions to move slower Lower w/c Supplementary SCM The Diffusion Coefficient is Difficult, Time Consuming and Costly to Obtain Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 13 of 45
14 Diffusion Coefficient D is Related to Electrical Properties of Concrete Using the Nernst-Einstein Eqn. σ Sample σ Fluid = D D ion = ρ Fluid ρ Sample D=σ Sample D ion = 1 ρ σ Fluid ρ Fluid D ion Sample D=σ Sample Constant Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 14 of 45
15 Concrete as a Porous Material Which phases influence transport Aggregate Typ. low porosity and low transport Paste - Transport occurs Hydration products, vapor, and fluid Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 15 of 45
16 Where Do Pores Come From Initially cement is the particles in the space and the water is the porosity Over time cement reacts and the porosity fills in (densifies) The porosity (f) is related to the w/c f Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 16 of 45
17 Power s Model for Paste Fractions Capillary Pores Gel Water Unhydrated Cement Hydrated Solid Capillary Porosity Transport is largely driven by the capillary pores Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 17 of 45
18 Volume Proportions (%) Volume of Paste Phases (Sealed - Maximum Hydration) Water-to-Cement Ratio Higher w/c, more capillary pores, higher permeability Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 18 of 45
19 s Approximate Approach (Technically Not Correct but) The porosity can be fluid or vapor If the concrete is saturated the porosity is fluid filled Lets assume that all the phases of concrete are conductive, we can assume that the sample is the weighted average of the product of phase fractions (f) and the connectivity (b) of the phase fractions sample s f Fluidt O b fb Fluid Fluid O F s Solid Solid Solid s Vapor Vapor Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 19 of 45 f b f b Vapor

23 What to we know Conductivity/Resistivity is related to ρ c = ρ o 1 φβ The properties of the fluid (electrolyte) ( o) Contains free ions -electrically conductive Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, HPO42-, HCO3 The Volume of the Pores (f) The connectedness of the pores (b) Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 23 of 45

26 Relationship to w/c Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 26 of 45
27 Simple Summary Resistivity Independent of Geometry Resistivity is related to Speed of Ions (Cl-) Moving in Concrete (Diffusion Coefficient) Resistivity is related to the volume of the pores and the connectedness of the pores One needs to think about pore solution One needs to keep in mind - test influenced by moisture (drying) or temperature changes The benefit its fast and its non destructive Road School Electrical Resistivity Spragg, Nantung, Zander and Weiss Slide 27 of 45
