Abstract
Concerns about cracking in concrete structures have grown in recent years. The cracking can be controlled very effectively by using a shrinkage-reducing agent to reduce the drying shrinkage of concrete. However, conventional shrinkage-reducing agents have some issues, such as difficulty in adjusting the concrete's air content and a significant decrease in freezing and thawing resistance. We conducted a feasibility study on a new shrinkage-reducing agent that reduces the shrinkage by retaining moisture in the concrete. This new shrinkage-reducing agent simultaneously reduces shrinkage and improves freezing and thawing resistance. Compared to conventional shrinkage-reducing agents, this new shrinkage-reducing agent provides superior concrete workability.
