摘要: Abstract The significance of cracking and microcracking caused by nonuniform drying shrinkage test specimens is analyzed. To assure that no cracks are produced in load-free specimens, one must lower the environmental humidity gradually sufficiently slowly, use very thin (about 1 mm thick). Graphs for maximum admissible rate change humidity, calculated from both linear nonlinear diffusion theories, provided. spacing width parallel due to estimated fracture mechanics considerations. In normal size usually too narrow be visible. Drying leads discontinuous rather than continuous macrocracks represented better as strain softening an abrupt stress drop. Shrinkage can increase diffusivity several orders magnitude.
