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

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
