Spacing Equations

Nomenclature for air void quantities differs among various authors. To express quantities with a common notation here, the following definitions are given:

For the paste-air systems (no aggregate) considered here, these quantities can be defined analytically as follows [15,16]:

  

The distinction has been made between the random variable R and its possible values r (see Ref. [16], Chapter 4).
