Although a clear trend between sorptivity and electrical resistivity cannot be identified, possibly due to the different tortuosity and capillary pore distribution along/across the specimens, the inherent different specimen geometry as well as the incorporation of superplasticiser, it is confirmed that in the case of CF/RCF higher values of sorptivity correspond to lower resistivity, while the opposite is observed in the case of GP-doped specimens, in which the matrix densification resulted in the reduction of the ionic conductivity.
