Superabsorbent hydrogels (SAH) are crosslinked three-dimensional networks distinguished
by their super capacity to stabilize a large quantity of water without dissolving. Such …

With the deterioration and ageing of concrete structures, repair and rehabilitation have
emerged as one of the most critical activities associated with high maintenance costs. One of …

This study aims to clarify the absorption-desorption process of internal curing water by
pumice in ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) system based on relaxation theory. More …

This study explores the feasibility of utilizing a superabsorbent polymer (SAP) to improve the
self-healing performance of microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) in …

This study investigated the mechanical properties of alkali-activated fly ash (AAF) mortars
containing superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) and polypropylene (PP) fibers before and after …

In this study, the self-healing of cracks in four alkali-activated slag (AAS) systems modified
by superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) is studied. The formation of carbonate precipitate is the …

In recent years, microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is becoming a popular
method of soil stabilisation and concrete crack healing. In MICP, calcium is a necessary …

Alkali-activated materials (AAM) are considered as promising alternative to Portland cement,
as they can utilize industrial by-products or wastes as precursors and contribute to reducing …

The types of commercial superabsorbent polymer (SAP) mainly include ionic-SAP acrylic
acid (AA) and nonionic-SAP acrylamide-acrylic acid copolymer (AM), which have different …

The low water-to-binder ratio commonly used for high-performance cementitious materials is
known to limit the degree of hydration of their cement particles. This issue often cannot be …
