Self-sealing concrete mixed with ultra-high absorbent polymer

One of the most undesirable properties concrete is that cracks due to many reasons including shrinkage and applied loads. Normal has tendency seal these on its own utilizing un-hydrated cement particles deposited fine particles. This a very limited success deal with live expanding cracks. study helps by using Ultra-High Absorbent Polymer (UHAP). polymer absorbs large quantity water form gel-like material. The moisture content can reach up 99%. volume increases increase in amount absorbed. gel fill out any surrounding void mass when subjected moisture. phenomenon preventing leaks flow though mass. At same time releases slowly process considered helpful for internal curing new concrete. will explore ability UHAP stop through an artificially created crack samples constant (constant head). Several cubes 5 cm side length were prepared.
