β¦ Synopsis
The applicability of porosity-electrical resistivity relationships for hardened cementitious systems is addressed. The following equation hF=hp+m~lne=ln + m'lne relating the electrical resistivity formation factor (F) to the porosity (e), tortuosity (z) and constrictivity (a) was tested for Portland cement pastes hydrated up to 29 years and mortar hydrated for 28 days. Results for the well-hydrated pastes and, to a lesser degree, 28 day hydrated mortars followed the relationship.

## Abstract The longβterm survival of cemented hip replacements depends on the ability of the cemented fixation to resist fatigue damage. Damage has been assumed to accumulate linearly (Miner's law) even though it is unlikely to be the case in such a porous brittle material. This study addresses th
