Power-law creep in C–S–H emerging from subdiffusive dynamics

Power-laws have long been used to describe creep in cementitious systems, from C-S-H to concrete, yet their mechanistic origin remains unclear. Diffusion, layer sliding, and permeation are often invoked as microscopic drivers of creep in C-S-H, but it is uncertain whether these r...
