摘要：

This paper describes the use of fractal geometry in determining the characteristics of some geological media, such as clayey and pumice soils. Attention is drawn to the determination of the specific surface of some clays of southern Italy and of pumice of the Vesuvius eruption of 79 a.d. The analysis proposed gives the Minkowski dimension of soils expressed by the power law, or the equation Mg(F) ≈Co-s; this is a dimensionless number. The values of Minkowski dimension obtained have been compared with the values obtained by physical methods (mercury porosimetry and the bottle helium test). The analyses conducted prove that, for the range of magnification adopted, the media examined behave as irregular or fractal sets.
