TL;DR: In this article, a method for reducing autogenous shrinkage in a material based on a hydraulic mineral binder, e.g. cement, by preparing a mixture comprising the binder and water and a water-entraining agent selected from the group consisting of hydrogels and microencapsulated water, casting the mixture in a desired configuration, and allowing the mixture to cure.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new concept for the prevention of self-desiccation in hardening cement-based materials is proposed based on using fine, superabsorbent polymer (hydrogel, SAP) particles as a concrete admixture.

TL;DR: An overview of autogenous deformation and change of the relative humidity (RH-change) can be found in this article, where an overview of the current status of this research field is given.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors dealt with autogenous deformation and autogenous relative humidity change (RH change) in hardening cement paste, and theoretical considerations and experimental data are presented, which elucidate the influence of temperature on these properties.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of several paste and exposure parameters on chloride ingress are examined (e.g., water-cement ratio, silica fume addition, exposure time, and temperature).
