Use of Super Absorbent Polymer with GGBS in Normal Concrete
Curing improves the microstructure and durability of concrete. Concrete self-curing is one of the most effective water-saving techniques because it delivers extra curing water throughout the concrete microstructure, preventing self-desiccation and minimizing shrinkage problems. This study aimed to characterize super absorbent polymers (SAPs) application in self-curing concrete. The SAP dosage of 0.3% was kept constant for the entire study, and the cement was replaced by the ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) at 10% intervals up to 50%. The workability of fresh concrete as compaction factor was determined. The mechanical strengths like compressive, flexural, and split tensile strength were studied. The durability properties of concrete, like water absorption, apparent density, and weight loss against acid environments, were studied. The results with the blend of 20% GGBS and 0.3% SAP met the Indian Standard code requirements related to strength and durability of concrete.
