Concrete with innovative multifunctional Ag-incorporated superabsorbent polymers evaluated through corrosion testing and secondary imbibition as a novel durability indicator. Ghent University
Concrete is one of the most used construction materials around the world. Given the high economic and ecological impact of cement production and crack repair in concrete structures, there is a need to develop more durable and sustainable structures. There is a growing use of blended cements, however, long-term durability of field concrete with various binder types is often not well reflected by results of short laboratory experiments. In the ...
