THE CONDUCTION OF ELECTRICITY THROUGH CONCRETE
This paper examines the relationship between mix proportions, electrical properties of the constituents of concrete and the over-all electrical resistivity for concrete. The mechanisms for the conduction of electricity through the heterogeneous medium of concrete are discussed and an electrical model is proposed. Analysis from a purely theoretical standpoint is also described and the values of electrical resistivity obtained experimentally are shown to compare favourably with the theoretical model.(a) (TRRL)
