Conclusion
Percolation of fluid in a porous material - Application to the pathology of constructions

This revised edition consolidates, clarifies, and supplements the original article on percolation in porous materials. Five key points summarize the contributions.

• First point

  Formal definitions. The distinction between total porosity p and accessible porosity pa, and the introduction of the parameter $\beta$ as the average number of inter-row connections form the conceptual foundation of the analysis. The assumption of connection independence gives the parameter $\beta$ a precise geometric status: the raising to the power $\beta$ results from independence, not from a phenomenological adjustment.

• Second point

  Consistency...
