What Does CDM Measure?

CDM uses sensors embedded in concrete to measure two key variables: electrical resistivity and temperature. These measurements are non-destructive, continuous, and representative of real service conditions.

Electrical resistivity is closely related to the porosity of concrete and its ability to transport aggressive substances, such as chlorides. Temperature, in turn, allows for adjustments to resistivity values to match laboratory conditions.

Science-Based Predictive Models

Based on these two variables, CDM applies specific scientific models for the two main corrosion mechanisms in concrete structures:

  • Carbonation
  • Chloride ingress

With these models, it is possible to predict, in years, the service life of the structure until the onset of reinforcement corrosion.

Small size,
Huge impact

Embedded electrical resistivity sensors for concrete measure this key parameter non-destructively from within structural elements, under real service conditions..

Advanced Modeling

CDM also enables probabilistic modeling using techniques such as Monte Carlo. This approach provides more robust estimates, adjusted to environmental variability, offering a solid foundation for maintenance, design, or rehabilitation decisions.

Standards and Compatibility

Electrical resistivity is a parameter recognized by international standards:

– ASTM C1202 (equivalent to the RCPT test)
– UNE EN 12390-19

This makes CDM a valid tool both on-site and in the laboratory, with comparable and traceable results.
