Therefore, R is influenced by both carbonation and chloride ingress. However, in a structure subjected to a combination of carbonation and chlorides, in which there are complex changes to both physical and chemical characteristics of hydration products, the use of electrical resistance measurements to assess the durability of concrete is still limited. In this investigation, four different combinations of carbon dioxide and chloride exposure regimes were used to examine the relationship between the electrical resistance, degree of carbonation, and quantity of chlorides (or chloride content). It has been found that for concretes with a stabilized relative humidity, the electrical resistance is sensitive to cement hydration and variations in chloride content in both independent chloride exposure regime and combined chloride and carbonation regime. However, the relationship between electrical resistance and the degree of carbonation is not that pronounced for accelerated carbonation test regime for 3 months. date: 2019-09-01 date_type: published publisher: American Concrete Institute official_url: https://doi.org/10.14359/51716834 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1725234 doi: 10.14359/51716834 lyricists_name: Bai, Yun lyricists_id: YBAIX06 actors_name: Bai, Yun actors_id: YBAIX06 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: ACI Materials Journal volume: 116 number: 5 pagerange: 129-138 issn: 0889-325X citation: Wang, Y; Nanukuttan, S; Bai, Y; Yang, K; Basheer, PAM; (2019) Electrical Resistance to Monitor Carbonation and Chloride Ingress.
