Investigating the effect of the ultra-high absorbent polymer on the sealing property of concrete

Researcher studied the effect of adding several admixtures to the concrete mix for the purpose of changing and controlling the properties of the final concrete product including the concrete strength, water tightness, concrete sealing capability, and concrete quality. In this study, ultra-high absor...
