Effect of pre-soaked superabsorbent polymer on shrinkage of high-strength concrete (2015, methodology): “For instance, Chen simulated the evolution of RH in self-desiccating cement pastes by using the pore size distribution measured by MIP and the chemical shrinkage as input [70].”
Mechanisms of autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag and fly ash pastes (2020, background): “Given the fine pore structure of AAS, a certain chemical shrinkage would result in a small radius of menisci in the paste [15], which means a high pore pressure.”
Mitigating the autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag by metakaolin (2019, background): “The RH of the pore solutions of AAS pastes with and without MK are in the range of 70% 80%, which are much lower than that of the pore solution in cement paste where a RH of above 95% was usually reported [67,68].”
