โฆ Synopsis
The bond strength and contact electrical resistivity between steel rebar and concrete were found to be linearly related, due to an interfacial phase of high volume resistivity that helps the bonding. Acetone washing of the rebar increases the bond strength slightly and decreases the contact resistivity slightly, but does not affect the linear correlation, which provides a nondestructive method for bond strength assessment.

The contact electrical resistivity between carbon fiber and cement paste was found to decrease with increasing bond strength and to increase during fiber pull-out from the paste. Both effects are due to the interfacial voids, which are electrically insulating. Evidence is provided in support of the
