Abstrakt: Based on the particle size distribution test of 6 kinds of limestone powder, the fractal dimension of particle size distribution was calculated, and its influence on the surface area, median grain diameter and RR-B value was studied. In addition, 20% of the total mass of cement was replaced with limestone powder, and the effect of fractal dimension on fluidity of cement paste and 3, 7, 28d strength of mortar was investigated. The results showed that fractal dimension for limestone powder specific surface area has a good linear relationship with median grain diameter and RR-B value. The fractal dimension showed a quadratic function with the degree of the fluidity, and the maximum value was between 2.1-2.2. Mortar strength at the age of 3, 7, 28d value displayed a linear relationship with fractal dimension L4 had the greatest effect on strength. L1-L4 had more influence on the strength at the age of 3d and 7d than that of 28d. While the influence of L5-L7 on the strength at 3d, 7d and 28d was essentially similar to each other.
