Project description

The two objectives of this project are the following: (1) To investigate and recommend the appropriate thresholds to use for Bulk (TP 119) and Surface (T 358) Resistivity for a concrete mix designed for an extremely aggressive chloride environment. (2) To investigate and recommend the appropriate thresholds to use for a Rapid Sulfate Electrochemical Test for a concrete mix designed for an extremely aggressive sulfate environment.
