Cement mortars containing 0, i0 and 30 percent silica fume were prepared at water/cement + silica fume ratios of 0.45 and 0.60. Compressive strength, Ca(OH) 2 and non-evaporable water contents and pore-size distribution were monitored up to 180 days. Silica fume reacts with most of the Ca(OH) 2 for

β¦ Synopsis
In all researches that had been carried out, the cement grouts were treated with gamma radiation during their linking i.c. during a few-hours-lasting physical and chemical transformation of the substance.
The radiated samples absorbed an energy from approx. 6000 rad to approx. 700,000 rad.
The following results were stated: (1) The participation of radiation in the linking process of cement. This influence of radiation was shown by the growth of compression and stretching resistance. (2) The influence of gamma radiation upon the speeding up of the hardening process.

## Abstract Concrete resistivity is directly related to relative humidity (RH) and is also affected by temperature. In this paper, a theoretical discussion about how these two factors affect resistivities of concrete and mortar is provided. Moreover, experimental results on sensorized mortar probes
