Abstract

This article aims to study the effects of mixtures with superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) when using different mixing methods. The mixing methods used in this study are the dry mixing method and wet mixing method. Autogenous shrinkage, total shrinkage, drying shrinkage, compressive strength, and curing sensitivity index values are investigated. The results show that mixtures with SAPs have reduced autogenous shrinkage and total shrinkage. Shrinkage is more effectively reduced by the dry SAP mixing method than the wet SAP mixing method. The compressive strength derived by the dry SAP mixing method is higher than that derived by the wet SAP mixing method.
