Geomaterials are composed of wide range of particle sizes and

shapes and are porous in nature.

A knowledge of pore structure of these materials is important as it can

give insight in to both the microstructure and the performance.

Rather than measuring the porosity, It becomes more informative if the

manner in which volume is distributed With respect to pore size.
