Carbonation of concrete: the role of CO2 concentration, relative humidity and CO2 buffer capacity (2016, background): “As total porosity and pore size decrease with decreasing w/c [40, 41], the percentage of pores filled with water due to capillary condensation, which slows down carbonation, is higher for the concrete with low w/c [26, 31, 32].”
Hysteresis from Multiscale Porosity: Modeling Water Sorption and Shrinkage in Cement Paste (2015, methodology): “Similar pore distributions were obtained by Baroghel-Bouny [18] by applying the BJH theory to the desorption isotherm (an even greater contribution from large pores would have emerged if they had applied the BJH theory to the adsorption isotherm, which we argue is more correct).”
The influence of different drying techniques on the water sorption properties of cement-based materials (2014, methodology): “In the Kelvin model, both capillary and adsorbed water phases exist in cylindrical pores and iterative step-by-step calculation leads to the pore size distribution [24].”
Investigation of the carbonation mechanism of \{CH\} and C-S-H in terms of kinetics, microstructure changes and moisture properties (2014, background): “Furthermore, CP shows a water vapor desorption isotherm which is located below the one of CN [67].”
