Shrinkage-Reducing Admixtures of Concrete
What is Shrinkage-Reducing Admixtures of Concrete? Shrinkage-reducing concrete admixtures encourage the concrete to expand at approximately the same rate as usual drying shrinkage contracts it. The net length shift of the hardened concrete is sufficiently minimal to avoid shrinkage cracks. Typically, admixture used for shrinkage-reducing is made of polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether or a similar composition. …
