11、. SIGNIFICANCE AND USE 4.1. This test method covers the laboratory evaluation of the electrical resistivity of concrete samples to provide a rapid indication of their resistance to chloride ion penetration. Wenner probe measurements have shown good correlations with other electrical indication tests

12、 such as the T 277 and the ASTM C1202 tests. In most cases, the electrical resistivity results have shown good correlation with chloride exposure tests, such as ASTM C1556, on companion cylinders cast from the same concrete mixtures (see references in Sections 15.2, 15.4, and 15.5). 4.2. This test m

13、ethod is suitable for evaluation of materials and material proportions for design purposes, as well as for research and development. 4.3. The qualitative terms in the left-hand column of Table 1 should be used in most cases unless otherwise noted by the specifying agency. The numerical results (resi

14、stivity, in k-cm) from this test method must be used with caution, especially in applications such as quality control and acceptance testing.

17、s test method can produce misleading results when calcium nitrite has been admixed into a concrete. The results from this test on concrete mixtures including calcium nitrite indicate lower resistivity values, that is, lower resistance to chloride ion penetration, when compared to tests on identical

18、concrete mixtures (controls) without calcium nitrite. However, long-term chloride diffusion tests indicate the concretes with calcium nitrite were at least as resistant to chloride ion penetration as the control mixtures. Note 1Other admixtures might affect res ults of this test similarly. Long-term

19、 diffusion tests are recommended if an admixture effect is suspected. 5.2. Sample curing condition is known to affect the resistivity of the solution in the pore structure (see Section 15.4). Lime-water curing on average reduces resistivity by 10 percent. 5.3. Because the test results are a function

20、 of the electrical resistance of the specimen, the presence of reinforcing steel or other embedded electrically conductive materials may have a significant effect. The test is not valid for samples containing reinforcing. 5.4. Sample age may have significant effects on the test results, depending on

21、 the type of concrete and the curing procedure. Most concretes, if properly cured, become progressively and significantly less permeable with time. 5.5. The degree of water saturation and concrete temperature may have a significant effect on the electrical resistivity of concrete. A standardized con

Factors that are known to affect resistivity as well as chloride ion penetration include water/cement ratio, pozzolans, the presence of polymeric admixtures, air-void system, aggregate type, and degree of consolidation. 6.

Sample preparation and selection depends on the purpose of the test. For evaluation of materials or their proportions, samples may be (a) cores from structures or f

27、rom larger diameter cast cylinders, (b) 100-mm- (4-in.) diameter cast cylinders, or (c) 150-mm- (6-in.) diameter cast cylinders. Cylinders cast in the laboratory shall be prepared following procedures in R 39. Unless specified otherwise, moist-cure test samples for 28 days prior to testing (Notes 2

28、and 3). Note 2Moist-cure in a 100 percent relative humidity moist room is the preferred curing method. Note 3Accelerated Moist-CuringProvide 7 days of moist-curing in accordance with R 39 for specimens prepared in the laboratory or in accordance with the standard curing procedure of T 23 for specime

29、ns prepared in the field. After 7 days of moist-curing, immerse the specimens for 21 days in lime-saturated water at 38.0 2.0C (100 3F). The accelerated moist-curing procedure has been found useful in providing an earlier indication of potential property development with slower hydrating supplementa

30、ry cementitious materials. Because the two different curing methods may not provide the same results, the specifier of the test may require a correlation between results for extended moist-cured and accelerated moist-cured specimens and establish appropriate acceptance criteria when the accelerated

31、moist-curing procedure is used or permitted. 8.2. Transport the cores or field-cured cylinders to the laboratory in a moist condition in a sealed watertight container. If samples must be shipped, they should be packed to be properly protected from freezing and damage in transit or storage. 8.3. Imme

32、diately after removing the sample from the mold, make four indelible marks on the top finished circular face marking the 0-, 90-, 180-, and 270-degree points of the circumference. Randomly assign one of the marks as 0 degrees, and then counterclockwise assign the next mark as 90 degrees, and so on.

33、Extend the marks onto the longitudinal sides of each sample. On the longitudinal sides of the sample, mark the center of the sample to use as a visual reference during testing.

In order to saturate concrete cylinders with water, they must remain in a 100 percent relative humidity condition (moist room) from the moment of mold removal to the moment of the test.

35、 10. PROCEDURE 10.1. During the test, the air temperature around the specimens shall be maintained in the range of 20 to 25C (68 to 77F). 10.2. Remove the first sample from the moist room or water tank and transfer the sample to the sample holder with the 0-degree mark on top. The concrete sample sh

36、all be tested within 5 min of being removed from the moist room or water tank. Immediately clean the surface with a saturated sponge or towel. The surface should be saturated surface wet before and during testing. (Note 4). Note 4One recommendation is to place th e sample into a pan with about an in

37、ch of water and rotate the sample during testing in order to prevent the sample from drying. If the sample begins to dry, the resistivity readings drift higher, increase variability in the readings, and give erroneous results. Frequently changing the water is also recommended (approximately every fi

38、ve samples). Keeping the sample surface wet during testing reduces testing variability. 10.3. Place the Wenner array probe on the longitudinal side of the sample, making sure the longitudinal center mark is equidistant between the two inner probe pins. (See Figure 5.)

Rotate the sample to the 0-degree mark and repeat the steps in Sections 10.3 through 10.7 for the sample in order to obtain a second set of readings at each degree mark. These will be used to obtain an

42、average of two readings at each location. 10.9. Repeat the steps in Sections 10.1 to 10.8 for the other samples in the set. 11.

44、1. Calculate the average resistivity and the percent relative standard deviation (%RSD) for each sample in the set. If the %RSD is above 7.5 percent, immerse the sample in a water bath (20 to 25C (68 to 77F) for 2 h, and then repeat the test. If the %RSD on the second set is below 7.5 percent, use t

45、he last set of readings to compute the average. If the %RSD is greater than 7.5 percent, then average all 16 readings. 11.2. Calculate the average resistivity of the set. 11.3. If the samples were cured in a lime-water tank, multiply the set average by 1.1. If the samples were cured in a 100 percent

46、 relative humidity moist room, multiply the set average by 1.0. 11.4. Use Table 1, with the appropriate cylinder size, to evaluate the chloride penetration resistance based on the resistivity. These values were developed from data on various types of concretes. 12. REPORT 12.1. Report the following,
