shrinkage

1. The reduction in dimensions of a piece of wood during drying; reduction is very slight along the grain, but a reduction of 5 to 6% in width is common for dry flat-sawn boards.

2. The volume decrease of concrete caused by drying and chemical changes.

3. The proportionate decrease in dimensions or volume of a material, usually as a result of a change in temperature.
