Abstract: Concrete setting and hardening designate the concrete grade. The impedance spectroscopy method, as one of the non-destructive testing method group, was used to characterize concrete specimens and track the changes in the concrete spectrum. Variances in the tanį (f) and Im Z(f) or Re Z(f) of the specimens under investigation have been observed. The specimen quality has been described by means of the loss type prevailing in the material. The results of this study are expected to provide information about the correlation between the n-factor and the concrete setting time.
Keywords: impedance spectroscopy, dielectric losses, loss factor, conductivity losses, polarization
