Evaluation of the Electrical Resistivity, Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity and Mechanical Properties in Portland Cement Pastes Type II

Article Preview

Abstract:

This research is focused on cement pastes with w/c ratio of 0.5. The cementing material is Portland cement type II. The main aim is to estimate the mechanical properties based on non-destructive tests such as ultrasonic pulse velocity, and electrical resistivity by a correlation with the destructive tests such as compressive strength, flexural strength, and tensile strength at ages of 3,7,14,21,28 and 45 days. The results suggest that there is a good correlation between evaluated properties.
