摘要

An intermingled fractal units' model is shown in order to simulate pore microstructures as pore fraction and pore size distribution., is model is aimed at predicting capillary water absorption coeffcient and sorptivity values in cement pastes. The results obtained are in good agreement with the experimental ones. For validating this model, a comparison with other procedures has been shown. It is possible to establish that the newly proposed method matches better with the experimental results., at is probably due to the fact that pore size distribution has been considered as a whole. Moreover, even though the proposed model is based on fractal base units, it is able to simulate and predict different properties as well as nonfractal porous microstructure.
