Hysteresis from Multiscale Porosity: Modeling Water Sorption and Shrinkage in Cement Paste

Cement paste has a complex distribution of pores and molecular-scale spaces. This distribution controls the hysteresis of water sorption isotherms and associated bulk dimensional changes (shrinkage). We focus on two locations of evaporable water within the fine structure of pastes, each having uniqu...
