CONT

[...] cet effet, n'a pu encore être totalement quantifié, mais explique sûrement une part importante du fluage de dessiccation; par ailleurs, il permet très bien d'expliquer l'effet d'échelle car, dans les pièces épaisses, le séchage est limité à la surface et l'on approche alors des conditions du fluage propre, avec des tractions et des fissures en surface.
