In this work the dielectric properties of concrete with and without chlorid
es as a function of their water contents were studied by the Electrical Imp
edance Spectroscopy (EIS). Specimens of cement paste with different water/c
ement ratio and chlorides content was analyzed. After drying the specimens,
the rehydration was controled by the relative weight increasing. A detaile
d study of the dielectric behavior in the range of 20 Hz to 40 MHz accordin
g to the water and the chlorides contents was made. The results were discus
sed in the framework of the material processes.
