      abstract     = {Cement paste is formed through a process called hydration
                      by combining water with a cementitious material. Concrete,
                      the worlds most versatile and most widely used material, can
                      then be obtained when aggregates (sand, gravel, crushed
                      stone) are added to the paste. The quality of hardened
                      concrete is greatly influenced by the water confined in the
                      cementitious materials and how it is transmitted through
                      cracks and pores. Here we demonstrate that the water
                      transport in cracks and capillary pores of hardened cement
                      pastes can be approximately modeled by simple equations. Our
                      findings highlight the significance of arresting the
                      development of cracks in cementitious materials used in
                      repository barriers. We also show that neutron scattering is
                      an advantageous technique for understanding how water
                      transmission is effected by gel pore structures. Defining
                      measurable differences in gel pores may hold a key to
                      prediction of the reduction of water transport through
                      cement barriers.},
