Effect of superabsorbent polymers on the mechanical properties of concrete

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The present chapter deals with the effect of internal curing by means of SAP on mechanical properties of hardened concrete, such as compressive and tensile strength under compressive and different kind of tensile loading (uniaxial, bending and splitting), and elastic properties.
