Effect of sawdust ash and laterite on the electrical resistivity of concrete

This study is an experimental research aimed at evaluating the electrical resistivity of concrete containing laterite and sawdust ash (SDA). Laterite was used to partially replace the sand in concrete while SDA partially replaced cement as a supplementary cementitious material. Cylindrical samples o...

description This study is an experimental research aimed at evaluating the electrical resistivity of concrete containing laterite and sawdust ash (SDA). Laterite was used to partially replace the sand in concrete while SDA partially replaced cement as a supplementary cementitious material. Cylindrical samples of Ø100 by 200 mm were used to evaluate the singular and combined influences of water-binder ratio, SDA and laterite on the electrical resistivity of concrete as a measure of durability. The sawdust ash content of 0, 10, 20 and 30% by weight of cement was considered while an optimum 30 % laterite content was examined and water-binder ratios of 0.35, 0.50 and 0.65.
