Abstract

 SAP (Super Absorbent Polymer), one of  the advanced materials, offers significant promise in the  field of civil engineering. SAP may affect concrete in a  number of ways, including cracking, shrinkage, tensile  strength, and compressive strength. We'll examine at how  SAP influences concrete strength in this study, but we'll  also look at other aspects. Sodium Polyacrylate will be the  focus of our investigation. The fundamental function of  SAP is to serve as an internal water supply, also known as  an internal curing agent, which is critical during the post final setting stage of cement. Furthermore, as it weakens  concrete by creating a gel with water, SAP introduces some  extra voids. SAP, or Super Absorbent Polymer, is a smart  material with high absorbency. In addition to replacing  super plasticizers, it also serves as a plasticizer in its own  right. In this investigation, we will focus on the influence of  SAP on both freshly-poured concrete and concrete that has  already been hardened in order to determine the strength of  concrete over different loading conditions.
