Yes, concrete can shrink as it cures due to water evaporation and the reduction in volume of the cement paste. This shrinkage can lead to cracking if not managed properly through techniques like using proper mix design, curing methods, and expansion joints.
Materials that shrink when heated include certain types of plastics, rubber, and fabrics.
The reason there are cracks in sidewalks instead of just one continuous piece of concrete is to provide for thermal expansion. Without the expansion cracks, as the concrete heats up it expands it would have no where to go so the sidewalk would buckle. Also, in the winter when it gets cold the concrete would shrink and crack/break.
Hot water can cause clothes to shrink because it can break down the fibers in the fabric and cause them to contract. It is generally recommended to wash clothes in cold water to prevent shrinking, especially for delicate or synthetic fabrics.
Yes, rayon can shrink when exposed to heat and moisture. It is important to follow the care instructions on the garment to prevent excessive shrinking.
Yes, a hair dryer can potentially shrink clothes if it is used on high heat for an extended period of time. The heat can cause the fabric to shrink and lose its shape. It is recommended to follow the clothing's care label instructions for proper drying.
Once the moisture is out of the concrete and it is cured it should not shrink - it is however in a state of stress so make sure control joints are added to any large concrete areas that are poured and placed.
During winter when the concrete contracts/shrinks and there is no gap, then it will crack from the surface. So gaps are left in concrete such that it can shrink to a safe limit without cracking it.

Usually 24 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. If it is excessively hot, you could walk on it sooner, and if it is cold or damp, you might want to give it a little longer. If it is hot, you might want to consider covering the concrete with plastic a couple of hours after finish, so that the moisture will not excape too rapidly, causing the concrete to shrink and crack. If you are going to put a lot of weight on the concrete, such as a car, wait at least a week, to be safe.
