of High Strength Concrete Sven Mönnig, Pietro Lura Abstract This paper presents the results of freeze thaw resistance tests performed on a ref-erence mixture and a mixture with superabsorbent polymer (SAP) addition. The SAP mixture showed 40% less scaling than the reference mixture and a slight increase of the compressive strength.
1. Introduction1.1. General. For concrete to be good, it needs to be easy to work with. Different situations call for different levels of workability in concrete [1].High workability is needed for things like deep beams, thin walls of water-holding structures with a high percentage of steel reinforcement, column and beam junctions, tremie concreting, …
