Pore structure in cement based composites is of paramount importance to ionic diffusivity. In this paper, pore structure in cement paste is modeled by means of the recently proposed solid mass fractal model. Moreover, an enhanced Maxwell homogenization method that incorporates the solid mass fractal model is proposed to determine the associated ionic diffusivity. Experiments are performed to validate the modeling, that is, mercury intrusion porosimetry and rapid chloride migration. Results indicate that modeling agrees well with those obtained from experiments.

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.
