Triethanolamine shrinkage

Direct addition of water-reducing admixture This increases the workability of the concrete. The effect of all types of water-reducing admixture under these conditions is invariably to increase the shrinkage and creep of the concrete. Some typical values are shown in Table 1.31. The considerable increases in both shrinkage and creep in the presence of admixtures containing calcium chloride and triethanolamine are clearly illustrated.
