Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 For definitions of terms used in this test method, referto Terminology C125.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This

10、test method measures the electrical current througha saturated concrete specimen with a potential difference of 60V dc maintained across the ends of the specimen. Testspecimens can be 100 mm diameter by 200 mm long moldedcylinders or nominal 100 diameter cores with length rangingfrom 100 to 200 mm.

11、The apparatus and specimen conditioningprocedures are the same as described in Test Method C1202,except that the side of the specimen does not have to be sealed.The current is measured 1 min after the voltage is first applied.The measured current, the applied voltage, and the specimendimensions are

12、used to calculate the bulk electrical conductiv-ity of the concrete.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method measures the bulk electrical conduc-tivity of concrete, which has a theoretical relationship to thediffusion coefficient of chloride ion, or other ions, in theconcrete (1, 2).4Experimental

13、 data confirm that there is acorrelation between the apparent chloride diffusion coefficientmeasured by Test Method C1556, or similar method, and thebulk electrical conductivity (3, 4).5.2 A number of factors are known to affect electricalconductivity of concrete: water cementitious materials ratio,

Different curing methods are used in this test methoddepending on whether the concrete contains supple

18、mentarycementitious materials. Use the same method and duration ofcuring when comparing mixtures.5.3 This test method is suitable for evaluation of concretemixtures for proportioning purposes and for research anddevelopment. Specimens must be sufficiently saturated formeasured electrical conductivit

19、y to provide an indication of theresistance of the concrete to chloride ion penetration. Becausethe electrical conductivity depends upon the degree of satura-tion, specimens are vacuum saturated before testing to ensurea common reference state for comparison purposes. If thespecimen is tested in a p

20、artially saturated, or “as delivered”state, it shall be noted in the test report.5.4 This test can be used to evaluate the electrical conduc-tivity of concretes in structures for applications that mayrequire such information, such as the design of cathodicprotection systems.5.5 The type of specimen

21、and conditioning procedure de-pends on the purpose of the test. For evaluation of concretemixtures, specimens are 100 mm diameter molded cylindersthat are moist cured up to the time of testing. For evaluation ofconcrete samples taken from structures, specimens are 100 mmdiameter cores that are vacuu

22、m saturated before performing thetest.5.6 Age of the test specimen may have significant effects onthe test results, depending on the type of concrete and thecuring procedure. Most concretes, if properly cured, becomeprogressively and significantly less conductive with time.5.7 Measured electrical co

23、nductivity can be used as a basisfor determining the acceptability of a concrete mixture.NOTE 2Because the method and duration of curing of test specimensaffect the test results, the acceptance criteria will need to specify the curingprocedure and test age.6. Interferences6.1 This test method can pr

24、oduce misleading results if one iscomparing concrete mixtures with and without soluble chemi-cal admixtures such calcium nitrite (See Note 3). Calciumnitrite increases greatly the conductivity of the pore solution.For two concrete samples with the same microstructure, theelectrical conductivity of c

25、oncrete made with a calcium nitriteadmixture will be greater than that of the same concretewithout calcium nitrite. This could be interpreted falsely as alower resistance to chloride ion penetration. Long-term chlo-ride ponding tests indicated that concretes with calcium nitritewere at least as resi

26、stant to chloride ion penetration as thecontrol mixtures (See Note 4).NOTE 3Procedures are available for estimating the pore solutionconductivity from the concentration of ionic species present in the solution(5).NOTE 4Other admixtures that provide large quantities of ions mightaffect results of thi

27、s test similarly. Long term ponding tests using TestMethod C1543 or diffusion testing using Test Method C1556 are recom-mended if an admixture effect is suspected.6.2 Because the test results are a function of the electricalresistance of the specimen, the presence of reinforcing steel orother embedd

28、ed electrically conductive materials, includingsome types of aggregates, may yield unrepresentative results,as these will result in higher conductivity than a concrete ofsimilar quality but with no embedded conductive material.Therefore, the test is not valid for specimens containingreinforcing stee

Test Specimens9.1 Molded Cylinders9.1.1 Prepare 100 mm by 200 mm cylindrical specimens inaccordance with Practice C192/C192M or Practice C31/C31M,whichever is applicable. The method of final curi

33、ng depends onwhether the concrete contains supplementary cementitiousmaterials. Unless otherwise directed by the specifier of tests,moist cure specimens in accordance with 9.1.2 for concretemixtures containing only portland cement. For concrete mix-tures containing supplementary cementitious materia

34、ls, moistcure in accordance with 9.1.3 or 9.1.4 as directed by thespecifier of tests. If no specific instructions are provided, curemixtures containing supplementary cementitious materials inaccordance with 9.1.3.9.1.2 Basic Moist CuringCure test specimens for 28 daysin accordance with Practice C192

35、/C192M for specimens pre-pared in the laboratory or in accordance with the standardcuring procedure of Practice C31/C31M for specimens pre-pared in the field. During final moist curing, free water must bepresent on the surfaces of the test specimens. If the moist roomis not able to maintain this con

36、dition, cure the specimens inwater storage tanks in accordance with Specification C511.C1760 1229.1.3 Extended Moist CuringCure test specimens for 56days in accordance with Practice C192/C192M for specimensprepared in the laboratory or in accordance with the standardcuring procedure of Practice C31/

37、C31M for specimens pre-pared in the field. During final moist curing, free water must bepresent of the surface of the test specimens. If the moist roomis not able to maintain this condition, cure the specimens inwater storage tanks in accordance with Specification C511.NOTE 5The 56-day moist curing

38、period is to allow for some supple-mentary cementitious materials to develop potential properties because oftheir slower rate of reaction. Concrete containing supplementary cemen-titious materials may continue to show reductions in conductivity beyond56 days. In some cases, the specifier of tests ma

39、y require testing at laterages, such as 3 months.9.1.4 Accelerated Moist CuringProvide 7 days of stan-dard curing in accordance with Practice C192/C192M forspecimens prepared in the laboratory or in accordance withPractice C31/C31M for specimens prepared in the field. After7 days of standard curing,

40、 immerse the specimens for 21 daysin lime-saturated water at 38.0 6 2.0 C.NOTE 6The accelerated moist curing procedure has been found usefulin providing an earlier indication of potential property development withslower reacting supplementary cementitious materials (6). The extendedmoist curing meth

41、od and accelerated curing method may not provide thesame results. The curing method will be selected by the specifier of testsso that it is in agreement with the established acceptance criteria.9.2 Cores9.2.1 Take cores using a water-cooled coring drill equippedwith a 100-mm inside diameter diamond-

42、dressed core bit. Drillcores in accordance with Test Method C42/C42M Mat loca-tions indicated by the specifier of tests.9.2.2 After drilling, wipe the surface of the core with a wetrag and place the core in a sealable plastic bag or container. Itis not necessary to allow the surface water to evapora

43、te beforeplacing the core in the bag or container.9.2.3 Transport cores to the laboratory in the sealed bags orcontainer. If cores must be shipped, they shall be packed so asto be protected from freezing and from mechanical damageduring transit.9.2.4 If the concrete surface where the core is taken h

44、asbeen modified, for example, by texturing or by applying curingcompounds, sealers, or other surface treatments, trim off thatsurface using a water-cooled diamond-dressed saw appropriatefor the task.9.2.5 If the core is not a full depth core, cut off the fracturedend, using a water-cooled diamond-dr

45、essed saw, so that the cutend is approximately perpendicular to the core axis. Unlessotherwise specified, the trimmed length of the core shall bebetween 100 and 200 mm, and shall be at least three times thenominal maximum size of aggregate.NOTE 7As the specimen length decreases, it is expected that

46、therewill be more variability in replicate test results because of variability inaggregate content within the specimen. The exact effect of specimenlength on the variability of measured conductivity is not known. Thespecifier of tests may require more replicate tests if cores are less than 100mm lon

47、g.10. Conditioning10.1 Before testing, condition core specimens in accordancewith the conditioning procedure in Test Method C1202 unlessotherwise specified.NOTE 8If the purpose of testing cores is to evaluate the in-placeconductivity, the specifier of tests may require that cores be tested in the“as

48、 received” condition.10.2 Molded cylinders shall be in a saturated condition atthe time of test by using one of the curing methods describedin 9.1.11. Procedure11.1 Remove the specimen from water and blot off excesswater from the side of the specimen.11.1.1 Measure the length of the specimen to the

49、nearest 0.1mm along four lines spaced approximately 90 apart. If therange of lengths exceeds 5 mm, trim the end or ends of thespecimen to achieve acceptance (See Note 9). Repeat themeasurement of the length as stated above. If the ends of themolded specimens are convex or concave by more than 5 mmrelative to the perimeter, trim the out-of plane end and measurethe length as stated above. Calculate the average length to thenearest 0.1 mm.NOTE 9A large range of measured lengths indicates that one or bothof the ends of the specimens are not perpendicular to the
