Abstract:
This project investigated the practical implementation of internally cured slag cement concrete using superabsorbent polymers (SAP) to enhance hydration, mitigate shrinkage, and improve long-term performance. The focus is on addressing challenges associated with slag cement’s slower hydration and shrinkage tendencies, which can affect strength development and durability in conventional applications. The significance of the study lies in its potential to revolutionize slag cement usage by demonstrating its feasibility for high-performance and sustainable construction.
