Steady state performance of improvised Ufer grounding practice

Ufer grounding is an effective method for electrical earthing, especially at highly resistive soil. The main material in ufer grounding is concrete which has moisture-dependent resistivity. In previous work, mixing concrete with Bentonite was done to observe slight improvement during short term meas...
