Comparison of Impedance Spectra of Concrete Recorded with Utilizing Carbon Transition Paste

Article Preview

Abstract:

NDT method of impedance spectroscopy was used to characterize concrete slab specimens without and with contact graphite compound coating. Differences in tanδ(f), ImZ(f) and ReZ(f) spectra for dry specimens were observed. Furthermore, based on the predominant loss type, the material quality was characterized. Our measurements confirmed the reproducibility of this method. Furthermore, the influence of the concrete specimen composition on their electric parameters was assessed.
