Abstract: 
Electrical conductivities of hardened cement pastes were investigated in relation to spatial structure of coarse capillary pores. There exists a good correlation between the porosity and the electrical conductivity in ordinary cement pastes. Spatial statistics for the coarse pores were also positively correlated to the porosity. Connectivity of invisible fine capillary pores seemed increasing events with the fine porosity. On the other hand, the conductivity was less correlated to the spatial structure of coarse pores in cement pastes with mineral admixtures. The conductivity was smaller for the coarse porosity in the cement pastes. Connectivity that used fine pores as effective paths was decreased by the incorporation of mineral admixture.
