Water Absorption Properties of Cement Pastes: Experimental and Modelling Inspections

<div>Sierpinski carpet construction: (a) geometric construction of the Sierpinski carpet and its iteration process. The fractal dimension <i>D</i><sub><i>f</i></sub> is 1.77 and the iterations are 3. (b) Fractal scaling (<i>i</i> = 0, 1, 2, and 3) for the Sierpinski carpet with two pores at first iteration. Starting from second iteration, two squares remain <i>solid forever</i> and five squares generate new iteration.</div>
