Popis: In the construction industry, tests such as compressive strength, density porosity, and water absorption porosity are frequently used to determine material properties. In general, experimental studies are divided into two categories: destructive and non-destructive testing methods. According to the common consensus, destructive testing methods produce more dependable results than non-destructive testing methods. However, it is not possible to reuse the samples in destructive tests, and there are difficulties in taking samples from the building whose construction process has been completed. In addition, the experimental implementation of destructive tests creates time and cost disadvantages. Within the scope of this study, destructive and non-destructive experiments have been carried out on alkali-activated concrete composites, which have attracted interest as sustainable environmentally friendly composite building materials in recent years. Compressive strength, density, porosity, water absorption, etc. traditional test methods have been associated with electrical resistance measurements. Electrical measurements have been taken with the MEGGER equipment, and resistance values have been directly correlated with the other parameters. The positive results indicate that different structures of materials used in the construction industry can be evaluated regardless of sample size or localization.
