1. INTRODUCTION Concrete is a widely used building material‚ many concrete pavements such as bridge deck‚ highway pavements and airfield runways are constructed all over the world‚ due to its superior properties such as high strength‚ good stability‚ abrasion resistance and anti-slippage. However‚ concrete is a poor electrical conductor‚ especially under dry conditions. Concrete that is excellent in both mechanical and electrical conductivity properties may have important applications in the electrical
