Abstract
Compressive strength of porous materials, especially of cement gels, has been estimated by means of fractal dimension of fracture surfaces. The relationship between mechanical strength and fractal characteristics of porous gels has been derived and tested experimentally using samples of cement gels. The dimensions of fracture surfaces have been found to be general parameters independent on the fractal dimensions of inner material components.
