Electrical Resistivity of Rubberized Cement-Soil in Formidable Environment

Abstract:

Based on experiments of salt corrosion, freeze-thaw cycle and co-action of salt corrosion and freeze-thaw cycle, the electrical resistivity of rubberized cement-soil in formidable natural environment were studied. Under the environment of salt corrosion and freeze-thaw alone, with the increasing of rubber powder content, the electrical resistivity rises at first and then falls down. But under co-action of salt corrosion and freeze-thaw cycle, the electrical resistivity shows descending trend. The electrical resistivity of rubberized cement-soil with No.60 sieve rubber powder is higher than that with No.30 Sieve. The results indicate that there are good linear dependence relation between the electrical resistivity and unconfined compressive strength. For rubberized cement-soil, it is feasible for using electrical resistivity to predict unconfined compressive strength.
