Abstract
The comparison between the morphology of the porosity and its fatigue life provides interesting relationships, which allow to understand better how the porosity influences the response to compression fatigue of the concrete. Finally, empirical relationships between porosity morphological parameters and fatigue life were obtained. The correlations show that a greater porosity leads to a lower fatigue life. And also, concretes with a higher percentage of small pores show a better behaviour against fatigue.
