Abstract
This paper discusses the electrical impedance behaviour, measured according to the Wenner’s method, of three different concrete mixes during accelerated degradation tests. Being a first attempt to move from laboratory to in-field applications targeted to long-term monitoring, the same electrode array configuration and set-up (AC current at 10 kHz) is used. Results show that electrical impedance decreases down to 24% in capillary water absorption tests, 77% and 86% in salt-spray chamber and wet/dry cycles with 3.5% NaCl solution, respectively. The two new low-clinker cements adopted seem to improve the measurement sensitivity towards contaminants ingress with respect to the commercial one (reference).
