Standard test method for bulk electrical conductivity (ASTM C1760) provides a rapid indication of the concrete's resistance to the penetration of chloride ions by diffusion. In this paper a new approach for assessing the bulk electrical conductivity of saturated specimens of hardened concrete is presented. The test involves saturating concrete specimens with a 5 M NaCl solution before measuring the conductivity of the samples. By saturating specimens with a highly conductive solution, they showed virtually the same pore solution conductivity. Different concrete samples yield different conductivity primarily due to differences in their pore structure. The feasibility of the method has been demonstrated by testing different concrete mixtures consisting ordinary and blended cement of silica fume (SF) and calcined perlite powder (CPP). Two standard test methods of RCPT (ASTM C1202) and Bulk Conductivity (ASTM C1760) were also applied to all of the samples. The results show that for concretes containing SF and CPP, the proposed method is less sensitive towards the variations in the pore solution conductivity in comparison with RCPT and Bulk Conductivity tests. It seems that this method is suitable for the assessment of the performance and durability of different concretes containing supplementary cementitious materials.

In this study, a relationship between hardness and electrical conductivity for an Al-Si aluminum alloy, forged after extruded, is investigated. Microvickers hardness is measured and compared with its corresponding electrical conductivity obtained by the eddy current test. It is found that a distinct relationship between the hardness and the electrical conductivity exists for the material. Using the relationship, the hardness of forging is predicted from the electrical conductivity obtained by eddy current test and the result is used to evaluate the condition of heat treatment.

Graphite reinforced conductive polymer composites for PEMFC bipolar plates were fabricated by the compression molding technique. Graphite powder was mixed with an phenol resin to impart electrical property in composites. In this study, conductive polymer composites with high filler $loadings(>60wt.\%)$ were manufactured to accomplish high electrical conductivity above 100S/cm. The level of compaction is important because graphite powder increase electrical conductivity of composites by direct physical contact between particles. The optimum molding pressure according to filler was proposed experimentally. Various tests(electrical conductivity, flexural strength, compressive strength, leach test, etc) were carried out to verify the performance of fabricated composites for PEMFC bipolar plates. Fabricated composites have good electrical conductivity and mechanical strength. The results of leach test and contact angle measurement showed similar characteristics compared with commercial bipolar plates.

Hydraulic conductivity is an important parameter, representing permeable property of the groundwater in aquifers, in the issues of groundwater development, groundwater contamination, and groundwater flow, etc. We estimated a relationship between hydraulic conductivity and electrical properties (formation factor, chargeability, and time constant) of silty sand in the laboratory. For this study, we conducted grain size analysis, constant head permeameter test, and measured electrical resistivity and spectral induced polarization of silty sand samples collected from the riverside alluvium of the Nakdong River in Nogok-ri area, Dasan-myeon, Goryeong-gun in Gyeongbook Province, Korea. In the laboratory test, we used soil samples of approximately uniform porosity with 0.5% error range, and kept the electrical resistivity of pore water with 100 ohm-m. As a result, the relationship between effective particle size and hydraulic conductivity agrees fairly well with the existing empirical formulas. Hydraulic conductivity was correlated with formation factor, chargeability, and time constant: hydraulic conductivity increased with increasing formation factor and time constant as well as with decreasing chargeability.

Electrical conductivity of Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloy foams of various density produced in powder metallurgical method has been measured using two probe electrical conductivity measurement method. Compressive mechanical properties such as elastic modulus and plastic plateau stress of foams were evaluated from electrical conductivity using power law relation and scaling laws of foam properties. Uni-axial compression test was also performed. Experimentally measured elastic modulus and plastic plateau stress were compared with the values evaluated from electrical conductivity. The computed values were in good agreement with the experimental result.

In this study, the electrical conductivity and shielding effect were evaluated according to the type of metal and the thickness of Metal sprayed coating. The metals used for the test are Cu, Cu-Ni and Cu-Zn, and the thicknesses were 100, 200, 500 um. Each metal sprayed coating was evaluated for electrical conductivity and electromagnetic shielding effect. When the thickness was 200 ㎛ or more, shielding effect 80 dB or more was satisfied at 1 GHz. However, in the case of Cu-Ni, there is little electrical conductivity at a thickness of 100 um or less due to the generated voids, and electromagnetic wave shielding performance cannot be expected. Therefore, To ensure electromagnetic shielding effect of structures, it is considered that the minimum thickness of metal spraying coating should be 200 um.

The performance of copper-tungsten for electrodes used in an ultra high voltage interruption system was evaluated by means of an interruption test, which requires a large-scale apparatus and high cost. In this study, prior to the interruption test, the characteristics of a Cu-W electrode were estimated through the DC arc test, which is a simple, low cost procedure. The DC arc characteristics of a 20wt%Cu-80wt%W electrode were investigated with the change of tungsten powder size distribution and the addition of nickel. In specimens containing a high volume fraction of large sized tungsten particles, the relative density and hardness of sintered Cu-W electrodes increased while the electrical conductivity and the DC arc resistance decreased. Furthermore, the relative density became enhanced with the increase of the amount of nickel while the hardness and electrical conductivity diminished and the DC arc resistance worsened.

The van der Pauw technique is one of the popular methods for determining the conductivity of flat metal samples. Traceability of the national standard for the conductivity has been achieved by direct current measurement techniques in national measurement institutes of many countries. But recently, alternative current measurement techniques for determining the conductivity of flat metal samples is also interested. In this study, we measured the conductivity of non-ferrous and ferrous flat metals at alternative current using van der Pauw technique. As measurement results, the conductivities of the samples were decreased according to increasing the test frequency even though the decreasing ratio was different.

The paper describes the electrical and optical properties of underwater discharges in highly inhomogeneous electric fields caused by 1.2/50 ${\mu}s$ impulse voltages as functions of the polarity and amplitude of the applied voltage, and various water conductivities. The electric fields are formed by a point-to-plane electrode system. The formation of air bubbles is associated with a thermal process of the water located at the tip of the needle electrode, and streamer coronas can be initiated in the air bubbles and propagated through the test gap with stepped leaders. The fastest streamer channel experiences the final jump across the test gap. The negative streamer channels not only have more branches but are also more widely spread out than the positive streamer channels. The propagation velocity of the positive streamer is much faster than that of the negative one and, in fact, both these velocities are independent of the water conductivity; in addition the time-lag to breakdown is insensitive to water conductivity. The higher the water conductivity the larger the pre-breakdown energy, therefore, the ionic currents do not contribute to the initiation and propagation of the underwater discharges in the test conditions considered.

전기전도도 측정방법에 의한 수리전도도 측정 기법 개발의 일환으로, 모형 시추공을 이용한 실내 실험에 이은 원위치 현장 적용 시험을 실시하였다. 현장 적용은 사전 현장 적용실험을 거쳐 춘천시 봉명리 강원대학교 산림학습원 구역내에 있는 BM-2와 BM-3의 두 시추공에서 이루어졌다. 두 시추공을 양수정과 측정공으로 서로 번갈아 사용하며 염수 주입과 종료를 기준으로 다수의 시계열 전기전도도 자료를 획득하였다. 이들 시계열 전기전도도 분포곡선의 분석으로부터 공별, 심도별 수리 특성 정보를 얻을 수 있었으며, 원위치 현장 투수시험 방법으로서의 가능성이 확인되었다.
