This lecture covers the different types of shrinkage in concrete, including chemical, heat, endogenous, plastic, and desiccation removal. It explains the causes and effects of each type of shrinkage, such as the formation of air voids, capillary forces, and cracking due to shrinkage. The lecture also discusses the influence of internal and external parameters on shrinkage and the importance of water content in concrete porosity.
