Shrinkage is defined as the reduction in volume of an unloaded concrete at constant temperature. Its primary cause is the loss of water during a drying process. The magnitude of this deformation is described by the shrinkage strain ɛs The inverse process is called swelling, but it is of little significance in actual practice.
