Sep 01,  · Changes of rheological properties in ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) suspending mortar incorporated superabsorbent polymer (SAP) were investigated. The effect of chemical composition of two SAP types (S1, acrylamide/acrylic sodium copolymer and S2, acrylamide polymer) and the S1 SAP with mean particle sizes of 95.1 and 471.3 μm on water

This paper focuses on the shrinkage of concrete, influenced by the different mixing amount of super absorbent polymer—SAP and extra-water. The experiment showed that the SAP-cement-mortar shrinkage is reduced greatly by mixing SAP. Extra-water can improve the function of reducing shrinkage of SAP. When the amount is 20, the shrinkage is lest, account for 57% of blank group's.

In this study, we analyzed the strength and shrinkage properties of concrete with three additives, superabsorbent polymer (SAP), calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) clinker, and shrinkage-reducing admixture (SRA), to verify the internal curing and shrinkage reduction effects. According to compressive strength

This experimental work focuses on the effect of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) in self-compacting concrete (SCC). The target strength to be achieved is M40. The superabsorbent polymer acts as an Internal curing agent (ICA) which is added at a percentage varying from 0.1 to 0.3 and superplasticizer to about 0.8% with respect to the mass of cementitious materials.

INTRODUCTION Cross-linked polymers known as superabsorbent polymers (SAP) absorb, swell, and hold a considerable volume of liquid without dissolving. In the 1960s, SAPs were first used in personal care items such as nappies. In

Superabsorbent polymers (SAP) are new, very promising multipurpose chemical admixtures for concrete. They make available a number of new possibilities with respect to the control of free water in the mixture. In turn they contribute to the control of the rheological properties of fresh concrete and to the mitigation of autogenous and plastic shrinkage through internal curing.

Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP) are a new component for the production of building materials. They have a considerable potential with regard to application in construction.

Superabsorbent polymer 1 Introduction The introduction of superabsorbent polymers (SAP) as a novel admixture for cementitious materials, origi-nally conceived as an internal curing agent for controlling autogenous shrinkage in high-performance concrete [1], makes available a number of new possibilities with respect to water control as well [2, 3].

Superabsorbent polymers (SAP) are of major interest as materials to control the cement hydration process. The swelling behavior of the SAPs significantly influences the performance of the resulting concrete by slowly releasing polymer-bound water in order to maintain a consistent w/c value. A round-robin test conducted by the RILEM Technical Committee 260-RSC showed that the same batch of
