Impact of an SRA (hexylene glycol) on irreversible drying shrinkage and pore solution properties of cement pastes

Cementitious materials shrink when exposed to decreasing relative humidities, which may result in cracking. Shrinkage reducing admixtures (SRAs) can be used to reduce this drying shrinkage. Although many studies have shown that SRAs reduce the surface tension of the pore solution, the effects of SRA...
