Uncertainty assessment of concrete electrical resistivity measurements on a coastal bridge [PDF]

open access: yesStructure and Infrastructure Engineering, 2019
During the diagnosis of existing structures, errors can be generated by uncertainty of measurements. The latter are affected by several factors and should be evaluated on-site. In this paper, a large data of resistivity values (1800 measurements) measured on a bridgein a marine environment has been gathered utilizing a four electrodes probe under ...
