Abstract
Drying-induced deformations of porous materials are ubiquitous phenomena, but coupled behaviors of moisture content inside the material and deformation, which are difficult to express the behavior as a physical model. This is partly because multiple mechanisms governing drying-induced deformation are involved so that each mechanism may become dominant by respective situations. This article introduces various activities or efforts in some research fields, and retrieves common results in laboratory experiments and in field observations, mainly for sedimentary rocks. Through these processes, future works to be considered are elucidated.
