Fractal and multifractal analysis on pore structure in cement paste

Porous ceramic materials by pore-forming agent method: An intermingled fractal units analysis and procedure to predict thermal conductivity

“…Atzeni et al [30] and the durability factors of concrete [31]. Gao et al [32] discussed an application of fractal and multifractal analysis on simulated pore structure of cement paste. Hydration factors in terms of the fractal dimension and the multifractal spectrum have been presented.…”

Experimental determination and fractal modeling of the effective thermal conductivity of autoclaved aerated concrete: Effects of moisture content

“…In view of the success of using fractal theory for modeling the effective thermal conductivity of porous media, either structured or randomly distributed [32][33][34], a few fractal-based thermal conductivity models have been established for porous building materials, like wood [35] and concrete [36], at dry state. The fractal theory has also been employed to analyze multiscale pore structure of building materials, including earthbased materials [37], cement pastes [38,39], and concrete [40] as well. In particular, as inspired by fractal modeling of the effective thermal conductivity for unsaturated, three-phase porous media [41,42], the fractal theory seems to be promising for establishment of a thermal conductivity model for moist AAC.…”

Technogenic resources for nanotechnologies in construction

“…The exponent is respectively in the interval 3 < n < 4. Thus, by the slope of log-log linear segments of the SANS dependencies it is possible to determine the scattering objects of a particular fractal type (volume or surface) and the fractal dimension [17][18][19].…”
