Abstract
There is much discussion about the resistivity of concrete used in repairs with impressed current and galvanic cathodic protection systems for reinforced concrete structures. Looks at how critical the resistivity of the concrete used in patch repairs is, and how can it be compared with the resistivity of the rest of the structure.
