[en] Pores are of crucial engineering significance because they allow water and other harmful substances to enter the material. This paper reviews various methods for porosimetry that are applicable to cementitious materials. Methods generally provide information on porosity and pore size distribution, yet pore continuity is required for transport, so should be investigated as well. Modern ways to approach such problems make use of computer facilities. Hence, the cementitious materials are produced in our case by a concurrent algorithm-based dynamic DEM system. Two novel methods that additionally render possible investigation of pore continuity are described in a separate paper on this conference [1]
