Early Volume Change• Before setting, the chemical shrinkage is notconstrained <strong>and</strong>, therefore, it will induceshrinkage of the same magnitude in thecement paste. As a rigid network ofhydration products starts to develop, thevalues of the chemical shrinkage <strong>and</strong> that ofthe measured shrinkage in the cement pastestart to diverge, since the rigidity of thepaste restrains the deformation.
