The moisture content in cement pastes influences their mechanical properties and durability. However, the complex, multiscale nature of cement pastes makes it challenging to isolate the contributions of each scale to their macroscopic water sorption isotherms. In particular, the contribution of the calcium–silicate–hydrate gel (the binding phase of cement pastes) remains only partially understood...
