1. Shrinkage deformations
1.1 Endogenous withdrawal
Endogenous shrinkage is a deformation of the material that cannot be avoided due to its dependence on cement hydration.
It occurs under isothermal conditions and in the total absence of any water exchange with the outside environment.
This deformation results from the combination of two phenomena (figure
