Les déformations libres du béton (retraits ou gonflements) sont des propriétés de première importance pour le constructeur. Le contrôle géométrique de l'ouvrage exige leur prise en compte. De plus, des déformations libres inhomogènes dans des parties monolithes provoquent souvent des fissurations, chemins privilégiés de pénétration des agents agressifs. La conception d'ouvrages durables passe donc par une maîtrise des déformations libres, et de leurs éventuels effets mécaniques [...] Deux paramètres locaux contrôlent les déformations libres du béton : la température et la teneur en eau libre. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9formation%20libre
