Research Brief: Capillary Stress During Cement Drying Shrinkage
Imagine a household sponge lying next to a kitchen sink. The sponge looks and feels different when it is wet versus when it is dry. When a sponge dries, it shrinks, curls and hardens due to suction forces (called “capillary stress”) which change its mechanical properties. Although the material compo...
