The roles of the interlayer spacing and water in the drying shrinkage of a hydrothermal lime-silica product have been investigated. In this work, changes in the length and weight of the specimens and the interlayer spacing of tobermorite crystals in them, have been recorded at varying drying conditi

✦ Synopsis
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 cement paste proposed by Feldman and Sereda is in question because of his observation and because he feels that no direct evidence has been observed for the latter.
