Abstract

La necesidad de calcular la durabilidad del hormigón ha llevado a buscar un ensayo que fuera capaz de cuantificar todas las fases del proceso desde la fabricación del hormigón hasta su curado y endurecimiento. La resistividad eléctrica como inversa de la conductividad-difusividad es una propiedad del hormigón que permite su control de forma no destructiva y por ello, accesible al autocontrol. La resistividad es un indicador del fraguado y de la resistencia mecánica, del grado de saturación del hormigón y por ello del grado de curado y de la impermeabilidad o resistencia al ingreso de sustancias agresivas en el hormigón. Finalmente tiene una relación directa con la velocidad de corrosión al indicar el grado de humedad del hormigón. Por todo ello es un parámetro que permite relacionar al microestructura con el comportamiento durable del hormigón. En el artículo se describen los fundamentos de sus posibilidades.
