Autogenous Healing of Early-Age Cracks in Cementitious Materials by Superabsorbent Polymers

Autogenous Healing of Early-Age Cracks in Cementitious Materials by Superabsorbent Polymers

The effect of superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) on autogenous crack healing in cementitious materials with early-age cracking was investigated. SAP-containing samples exposed to wet/dry cycles showed better autogenous healing than those only exposed to wet conditions, as determined by water flow and co...
