English translation:drying front
Explanation:
Strangely enough, while we talk about HYDRATION of concrete (chemical reaction between water and cement molecules, which produces heat), we talk not of "dehydration" but of DRYING of the concrete once the hydration is complete. The thermal stresses involved in the drying phase will cause greater or lesser shrinkage and cracking, depending on the control of drying by means of curing (spraying with water, autoclaving, covering with membranes to retain water longer, etc.). Thus we speak of the DRYING FRONT.
