Water-entrained cement-based materials: II. Experimental observations
This paper concerns a new concept for the prevention of self-desiccation in hardening cement-based materials. The concept is based on using fine, superabsorbent polymer (hydrogel, SAP) particles as a concrete admixture. This permits a controlled formation of water-filled macropore inclusions - water entrainment - in the fresh concrete. Consequently, the pore structure is actively designed to control self-desiccation. In the paper, experimental observations in relation to this technique are described and discussed. The observations show that self-desiccation can be controlled by water entrainment. The paper forms the second part of a series. In the first part, the theoretical background was presented (Cem. Concr. Res. 31(4) (2001) 647).
