ABSTRACT: This paper reports the absorption capacity of Super-Absorbent-Polymer (SAP) in water and
cement pore solution. This was considered for the free water requirement for high-performance concrete contain-
ing SAP. The rheology and compressive strength properties of this low water/binder (w/b) concrete are reported.
