Abstract

A three-dimensional absolute profile parameter was used to characterize the height irregularities of the fracture surfaces of cement pastes. The dependence of these irregularities on porosity was studied and its non-linear character was proved. An analytical form for the detected non-linearity was suggested and then experimentally tested. The surface irregularities manifest scale-invariance properties.
