About the Book

This comprehensive technical book, Shrinkage-Reducing Chemical Admixtures, is Volume 10 of the authoritative book series Concrete Chemical Admixtures, authored by Dr. Mostafa Ebrahim. It offers an in-depth exploration of the science, application, and industrial practices surrounding shrinkage-reducing admixtures (SRAs) in concrete. The volume begins by detailing the fundamental mechanisms of concrete shrinkage-drying, autogenous, plastic, and carbonation-emphasizing how mix design, constituent materials, and environmental conditions influence these phenomena. At its core, the book examines SRAs: their historical evolution from early natural resins to modern synthetic and bio-derived formulations; their chemical composition, including glycols, polyethers, and surfactants; and their molecular mechanisms that mitigate shrinkage by reducing surface tension and capillary pressure. Dr. Ebrahim systematically classifies SRAs by chemistry, performance tier, generational development, and mode of action, while also addressing raw material selection, synthesis pathways, and state-of-the-art industrial practices in production, quality assurance, and digitalization (Industry 4.0). Practical chapters provide actionable guidance on compatibility with cementitious systems and other admixtures, mix design integration, batching protocols, dosage optimization, placement under diverse environmental conditions, and troubleshooting common field challenges. Supported by real-world case studies-both successes and failures-the book promotes evidence-based implementation. Additionally, it outlines global regulatory frameworks, sustainability imperatives, and lifecycle performance metrics, carefully balancing benefits like crack reduction and enhanced durability against tradeoffs such as cost and potential early-strength effects. As the tenth installment in Dr. Ebrahim's acclaimed series, this volume serves as an indispensable reference for engineers, researchers, concrete producers, and specifiers committed to advancing concrete performance through cutting-edge admixture technology.
