Abstract :
The paper describes the development of a nondestructive test method, which is based on measurement of electrical parameters, for the assessment of the condition of structural concrete. The basic physical chemistry of concrete is explained and brief details are given of the equipment for the given test technique. The results of experiments made using the technique are given and discussed in terms of their use as a quality indicator for structural concrete.
