What is it about?
Provides information on the influence of drying direction (boundary conditions) upon stress development and age at cracking in the restrained ring specimen. Additionally, the influence of the water-to-cement ratio (w/cm) and exchange surface-to-volume ratio is discussed.

Why is it important?
This study is of interest to engineers and material specifiers in view of better assessing and/or predicting the drying shrinkage sensitivity of concrete.
Perspectives
This paper provides data to understand the shrinkage cracking behaviour of cement-based materials.
