Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

In an attempt to address future construction requirements a clear focus is necessary on development of new technologies addressing the need for safer and more cost-effective infrastructure. The paper aims to summarise the current state-of-the-art on application of superabsorbent polymers (SAP) in cementitious composites as internal curing agents. The effect of SAP type, cement type and fly ash content on performance of cement mortars is briefly discussed. The importance of adequate selection of SAP with water absorption/desorption characteristics compatible with hydration process is highlighted.
