Glenium Concrete
High grades Low Grades SCC Precast
Glenium Concrete for Higher Grades Why higher grades? (M45 – M 60)
Early destripping Advantages in column size reduction Longer spans and thinner decks PT slabs – 30 MPa in 3 days
General Practice for Higher Grade
Use of Higher Cement contents Use of very low water /cement ratios Use of Expensive Mineral Admixtures
Phenomenal increase in costs Concrete very sensitive to changes in moisture content Extra cement content due to retention effect
PT Slab requirements
30 MPa in 3 day
Constraint – Shrinkage, which is sensitive to use of higher cement content & SF
Large pours to be done Voids & honeycombs cannot be tolerated
Critical Areas
Use of higher cement content – Thermal Shrinkage Use of silica fume
– Risk of Plastic shrinkage
Use of low w/c ratio
– Higher dosage of SNF admixture – (retardation effect-plastic shrinkage)
Higher cost of concrete!
Hydration Reactions
Glenium Concrete
How does Glenium Work?
GLENIUMTM molecules
Improved Dispersion due to electrostatic and steric repulsion ….low w/cm
Glenium Concrete GLENIUM helps in
Excellent dispersion of binders Better Hydration Water reduction upto 40% Reduction in Cement content Lower risk to Thermal Shrinkage High early strengths Reduce/Eliminate SF Reasonably lower w/c ratios

Shrinkage Reducing Admixture
TETRAGUARD®
PLASTIC SHRINKAGE DRYING SHRINKAGE THERMAL SHRINKAGE AUTOGENOUS SHRINKAGE CARBONATION SHRINKAGE
Drying Shrinkage Cracking Cause:
Volume reduction due to moisture loss Loss of moisture from freshly-hardened concrete Loss of moisture from concrete into sub-grade Joint
Drying Shrinkage
Sub-Base Inter-panel Cracking
Mechanism of Drying Shrinkage
Capillary Tension appears to be the dominant mechanism in drying shrinkage. Stress upon drying is related to the surface tension of pore water. Addition of SRA lowers the pore water surface tension.
How is Surface Tension Related to Drying Shrinkage?
Pore water loss due to hydration & evaporation.
As pores become less than fully saturated, meniscus forms at the air-water interface due to surface tension.
How is Surface Tension Related to Drying Shrinkage?
The surface tension of pore solution that forms meniscus also exerts inward pulling force on the side of the pore wall.
These forces in all pore sizes ranging from 2.5-50 nm is the primary cause of shrinkage.
Magnitude of Drying Shrinkage
28-Day
Typically 0.040-0.045% Range: 0.025-0.080% Long-Term
Typically 0.08%
(800 millionths or 800 microstrains) Range: Low: 0.04% High: 0.12%
Shrinkage-Reducing Admixtures
Developed in 1982 in Japan.
Primarily used as integral admixtures in concrete mixtures, but some can be applied topically to concrete surfaces.
Function by reducing capillary tension and the tensile forces that develop within the concrete pores as it dries.
Shrinkage-Reducing Admixtures TETRAGUARD shrinkage-reducing admixtures TETRAGUARD AS20 – Liquid form Offer a practical approach to combat drying shrinkage. Dosage: 0.5% - 4.0%, most typical dosage is 1-2%.
Designer and Producer Benefits
Reductions in drying shrinkage, drying shrinkage cracking and curling.
Elimination of extra reinforcement needed to restrain expansive forces.
No special silo or bag storage of Type K cement, expansive aids or aggregates
No increase in porosity due to microcracking Enhanced finishability and truck clean-up

Design Considerations and Concerns for Liquid Containment Structure
Recommendations from ACI 350 for watertight structures were specified:
Maximized aggregate size, low w/c of 0.45, compressive strength of 28 MPa and drying shrinkage of 0.042% at 28 days.
Producer also needed pumpable mix with 18±2.5 cm slump for placement and consolidation around restraint and faced difficulties in meeting drying shrinkage specification with aggregates.

Summary
SRAs provide significant reductions in drying shrinkage and subsequent cracking in both laboratory and field investigations.
Substantial benefits with regards to watertightness, aesthetics and overall serviceability can be obtained with SRAs.
Inclusion of SRAs to slabs, bridge decks, liquid containment and repair work can be very advantageous to improving life cycle.

Glenium Concrete
High grades Low Grades SCC Precast
Glenium Concrete for Higher Grades Why higher grades? (M45 – M 60)
Early destripping Advantages in column size reduction Longer spans and thinner decks PT slabs – 30 MPa in 3 days
General Practice for Higher Grade
Use of Higher Cement contents Use of very low water /cement ratios Use of Expensive Mineral Admixtures
Phenomenal increase in costs Concrete very sensitive to changes in moisture content Extra cement content due to retention effect
PT Slab requirements
30 MPa in 3 day
Constraint – Shrinkage, which is sensitive to use of higher cement content & SF
Large pours to be done Voids & honeycombs cannot be tolerated
Critical Areas
Use of higher cement content – Thermal Shrinkage Use of silica fume
– Risk of Plastic shrinkage
Use of low w/c ratio
– Higher dosage of SNF admixture – (retardation effect-plastic shrinkage)
Higher cost of concrete!

TETRAGUARD®
PLASTIC SHRINKAGE DRYING SHRINKAGE THERMAL SHRINKAGE AUTOGENOUS SHRINKAGE CARBONATION SHRINKAGE
Drying Shrinkage Cracking Cause:
Volume reduction due to moisture loss Loss of moisture from freshly-hardened concrete Loss of moisture from concrete into sub-grade Joint
Drying Shrinkage
Sub-Base Inter-panel Cracking
Mechanism of Drying Shrinkage
Capillary Tension appears to be the dominant mechanism in drying shrinkage. Stress upon drying is related to the surface tension of pore water. Addition of SRA lowers the pore water surface tension.
How is Surface Tension Related to Drying Shrinkage?
Pore water loss due to hydration & evaporation.
As pores become less than fully saturated, meniscus forms at the air-water interface due to surface tension.
How is Surface Tension Related to Drying Shrinkage?
The surface tension of pore solution that forms meniscus also exerts inward pulling force on the side of the pore wall.
These forces in all pore sizes ranging from 2.5-50 nm is the primary cause of shrinkage.
Magnitude of Drying Shrinkage
28-Day
Typically 0.040-0.045% Range: 0.025-0.080% Long-Term
Typically 0.08%
(800 millionths or 800 microstrains) Range: Low: 0.04% High: 0.12%
Shrinkage-Reducing Admixtures
Developed in 1982 in Japan.
Primarily used as integral admixtures in concrete mixtures, but some can be applied topically to concrete surfaces.
Function by reducing capillary tension and the tensile forces that develop within the concrete pores as it dries.
Shrinkage-Reducing Admixtures TETRAGUARD shrinkage-reducing admixtures TETRAGUARD AS20 – Liquid form Offer a practical approach to combat drying shrinkage. Dosage: 0.5% - 4.0%, most typical dosage is 1-2%.
Designer and Producer Benefits
Reductions in drying shrinkage, drying shrinkage cracking and curling.
Elimination of extra reinforcement needed to restrain expansive forces.
No special silo or bag storage of Type K cement, expansive aids or aggregates
No increase in porosity due to microcracking Enhanced finishability and truck clean-up

Design Considerations and Concerns for Liquid Containment Structure
Recommendations from ACI 350 for watertight structures were specified:
Maximized aggregate size, low w/c of 0.45, compressive strength of 28 MPa and drying shrinkage of 0.042% at 28 days.
Producer also needed pumpable mix with 18±2.5 cm slump for placement and consolidation around restraint and faced difficulties in meeting drying shrinkage specification with aggregates.

Summary
SRAs provide significant reductions in drying shrinkage and subsequent cracking in both laboratory and field investigations.
Substantial benefits with regards to watertightness, aesthetics and overall serviceability can be obtained with SRAs.
Inclusion of SRAs to slabs, bridge decks, liquid containment and repair work can be very advantageous to improving life cycle.
