High performance cement-based materials, such as high or ultra-high performance concrete
(HPC or UHPC) have been widely used and still faces the risk of cracking caused by …

The paper is focused on microstructure and strength development in fly ash cementitious
mortars containing superabsorbent polymers. In order to evaluate the effect of different water …

This dissertation deals with the effect of a new concrete additive, called salt-insensitive
superabsorbent polymer, on the physical properties of normal and high strength concrete …

This article investigates the mechanical properties of cementitious repair mortars modified
with styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) at dosages of 5% and 10% by weight of cement. It …

The aim of this paper is to review the developments in the use of superabsorbent polymer
(SAP) in cementitious materials. This review covers the classification, properties, and …

The effects of three superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) on variations in the cement hydration
process were studied by calorimetric measurements and the X-ray scanning technique. It …

Carbon filler addition in the superabsorbent polymers (SAP) network shows excellent water
absorption capability. However, other than filler, the water absorbency was also influenced …

Timber–concrete composites (TCCs) take advantage of the properties of timber and
concrete simultaneously. TCC slabs consist of timber beams or a timber deck, which resist …

Concrete is the most used building material across the world. Even though its production
contributes to global warming, it will still be favorable in the construction industry for the next …

In the past, investing in housing has served as an engine of growth for many economies as it
is widely recognized that poor housing conditions can have significant negative impacts on …
