Solid Mass Fractal Model for Pore Structure in Cement Paste

Though discussed a lot, it remains a practical challenge to modeling pore structure in cement paste. The fractal approach shows a great advantage since it allows to generate complex pore structure via simple geometric iterations and to incorporate the wide scope of pores in a self-similar manner.

Summary:Though discussed a lot, it remains a practical challenge to modeling pore structure in cement paste. The fractal approach shows a great advantage since it allows to generate complex pore structure via simple geometric iterations and to incorporate the wide scope of pores in a self-similar manner. In this paper, the solid mass fractal model is proposed for pore structure in cement paste. The parametric analysis is performed in conjunction with the porosimetric test. It is shown that the proposed solid mass fractal well describes pore structure in cement paste.
