What is Nano-Silica and SAP Effects on Concrete Cracking about?

This research investigates the impact of nano-silica on plastic shrinkage cracking in concrete, revealing that while nano-silica accelerates cracking, its combination with super absorbent polymers (SAP) can mitigate this effect. Synthetic fibres also reduce cracking but are less effective than SAP when used with nano-silica. The study emphasizes the need for caution in using nano-silica due to its potential to increase plastic shrinkage in concrete mixes.
