The cement paste in concrete and mortar has been shown to have a pore size distribution different than that of plain paste hydrated without aggregate. For mortar and concrete, additional porosity occurs in pore sizes larger than the plain paste's threshold diameter as measured by mercury intrusion.
This is a very interesting paper exposing an anlytical technique for modelling the three-dimensional microstructure of cement paste on a computer screen. One of the major benefits of this technique is that one can see the results of one's calcuations in the real time and can modify the model accordi
