Checking was influenced b drying conditions. This influence was greatest before average moisture content reached 20 per cent, but tension in surface layers caused checking even below this point.
Neither high initial dry-bulb temperature nor initial conditions of high equilibrium moisture content were conducive to checking.
High temperature and high...
