The Effect of Superabsorbent Polymers on Mechanical Characteristics and Cracking Susceptibility of Alkali-Activated Mortars Containing Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag and Copper Slag

In an attempt to increase sustainability of construction materials, both ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) and, less popular, copper slag (CS) can be used in alkali-activated composites. However, such composites are often more susceptible to cracking, triggered by the self-desiccation proc...
