The significance of cracking and microcracking caused by nonuniform drying shrinkage of test specimens is analyzed. To assure that no cracks are produced by drying in load-free specimens, one must lower the environmental humidity gradually and sufficiently slowly, and use very thin specimens (about
Professor Bazant's concerns regarding the estimation of unrestrained drying shrinkage values for cement paste must be resolved if such values are to be used in the prediction of concrete shrinkage. We are in full agreement with regard to his statements about concrete. The presence of rigid, nonshrin
This paper presents drying shrinkage data from an autoclaved lime-silica system, where no change in the ll.3~ line of tobermorite was observed during drying although shrinkage was observed. The author concludes that the proposed mechanism of length change for room-temperature hydrated portland cemen

M. Relis and J. Soroka conclude in their article (i) that the density of the hydration products varies with the degree of hydration. The density of the hydration products, according to these authors, starts out with a relatively low density, and gradually increase towards a higher value. This variat
