Self-curing (internal curing) of concrete using shrinkage reducing admixture, super-absorbent polymers, and pre-saturated lightweight aggregates are established methods to prevent autogenous shrinkage and self-desiccation. However, using polypropylene fiber addition (PPF), that provides better contr...
