Abstract:Many entities currently use permeability specifi cations in portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements and
structures. For those states using permeability specifi cations, the two test methods generally used are ASTM
C1202 or ASTM C642. The drawback to these test methods is the length of time it takes to conduct the tests
and the curing time required to test the concrete. More recently a surface resistivity device has become
available to test the concrete at 28 days of age with a testing time of about fi ve minutes compared to 56 days
of age and two days of testing time.
This project investigated the use of a surface resistivity device as an indication of concrete’s ability to resist
chloride ion penetration for use in quality assurance (QA) and acceptance of high performance concrete
(HPC).
