Abstract

With the development of the times, the non-destructive testing technology of concrete has been continuously explored by countless scientific researchers to meet the requirements of contemporary people for architecture. It is moving toward more accurate, low-cost, portable, non-radioactive, non-injectable, and the development of features such as visualization and electrical resistance tomography (ERT) technology has these features. This article mainly introduces the development process of this technology from the application research of electrical resistance tomography, sensor unit, image reconstruction unit, three aspects introduce the development of ERT, and briefly summarize the research progress of conductive concrete. The problems that need to be solved in the development of ERT technology and the development of ERT in the field of concrete non-destructive testing are put forward.
