Abstract: The effect of discrete cracks on the Wenner probe measurements for surface resistivity of plain and reinforced concrete elements is investigated. A numerical modeling approach is utilized to study the effect of a wide range ...

Abstract: The interpretation of half-cell potential measurements in reinforced concrete structures can be a major challenge for civil engineers. The main reason for this is that half-cell potential mapping provides information to ...

Abstract: This paper presents a finite-element model developed to predict concrete drying behavior and internal relative humidity with very simple inputs that are known to engineers and practitioners (concrete mix design and cement ...
