Abstract
The measurement of the electrical resistivity of concrete provides an insight into the mix proportions and setting characteristics of concrete. Electrical resistivity measurements over an extended period of time can be very tedious. To overcome this problem a prototype computer controlled measurement system has been developed. The application of micro-electronic circuits, both proprietary and custom designed, to a developed model of the equipment is also described.
