Water in the multiscale porous microstructure of cement-based materials is closely related to multiple deterioration processes, hence significantly influences the durability of concrete structures in atmospheric environment. Water vapor sorption is the key tool for characterizing the hygroscopic properties of cement-based materials, also a promising technique for exploring their nanopore structures. The significant hysteresis between different sorption branches is stemmed from the complexity of interconnecting pore system and concurrence of different physical phenomena. In this study, the hysteretic and scanning behaviors of water vapor sorption in hardened cement pastes are measured with a dynamic vapor sorption instrument, and investigated to provide new insights into the path-dependency of sorption behaviors on humidity history and resolve the overall sorption hysteresis into contributions from different phenomena.
