THE USE OF THE FRACTAL GEOMETRY TO DESCRIBE THE PORE SPACE IN WET SOURCE CLAYS

Journal Title: Structure and Environment - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 3

Abstract

In this paper the authors attempted to use the fractal geometry to describe the pore space of the water-clay systems. The analysis was carried out on the source clays STx-1b and SWy-2. The values of the constant parameter k and fractal di­mension D was determined by means of statistic. On this basis of the analysis, it was found that the description of the pore space using fractal geometry is possible.
