Equivalent method for obtaining concrete age on the basis of electrical resistivity

Abstract Concrete age is the time since the moment water is added to the cement, and the age of concrete comprehensively reflects the physical properties of the concrete when curing under standard conditions. For concrete under nonstandard conditions, its physical properties are directly related to...

Equivalent method for obtaining concrete age on the basis of electrical resistivity
description Abstract Concrete age is the time since the moment water is added to the cement, and the age of concrete comprehensively reflects the physical properties of the concrete when curing under standard conditions. For concrete under nonstandard conditions, its physical properties are directly related to both its age and temperature history.

In this paper, the electrical resistivity of concrete is used as the index to determine the equivalent age of concrete.
