Abstract

Although the use of SAP as internal curing agents in concrete has been widely documented in the literature for over a decade their suitability for general use is still not clearly articulated and cohesive. The research programme, of which a fragment is presented in this paper, endeavours to elaborate on materials characteristics and performance of SAP modified mortars made of CEM I and CEM II type cements. The variations in microstructural features and mechanical/physical properties of composites are the subject of the presented investigations. Application of SAPs in CEM I resulted in reduction of shrinkage.
