Interpretation of Full Sorption-Desorption Isotherms as a Tool for Understanding Concrete Pore Structure

Sorption isotherms are frequently used to characterize the structure of porous materials such as cement. Their interpretation has been somewhat hindered by the large hysteresis observed between the adsorption and desorption processes. Here, we model the hysteresis due to pore blocking, whereby water...
