Abstract: Based on the shrinkage problem of high-performance concrete in high-altitude dry environments, the effects of different dosage of the anionic polyacrylamide polyacrylate superabsorbent polymers (SAP-YF) and a commercial polypropylene-based super absorbent polymers (SAP-S) on the shrinkage properties of cement-based materials under high-altitude dry environment were studied. The test results showed that with an increase in SAP dosage, the autogenous shrinkage and strength of the cement-based materials gradually decreased, while the drying shrinkage remained relatively unchanged. Considering the premise of not affecting the strength and minimizing shrinkage, the optimal dosage of SAP-YF was 0.20% under a water-cement ratio of 0.20, with a shrinkage reduction rate of 28.21%. XRD and TG results showed that the hydration degree and solid phase composition of the SAP-containing specimens exhibited significant improvements compared to the control group after 7 d of curing. The introduction of SAP helped maintain the internal moisture content of the paste matrix, creating an environment conducive to the hydration of cementitious materials for 7 d or more. The inclusion of SAP accelerated the early hydration process of cementitious materials. Based on XRD, TG experiments, and theoretical research, a model for the evolution of solid-phase composition of cement-based materials containing SAP with curing time under dry conditions was established, which could provide data support for thermodynamic model calculations and concrete mix design in high-altitude dry environments.
