Facing with the sustainable development of civil infrastructures in plateau regions, this paper begins with a brief description of the problems need to be overcome when concrete is under plateau harsh environment, and concisely reviews the current research on potential utilization of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) to reinforce concrete, and the limitations, improvement strategies and future perspectives of SAP on delivering the targeted shrinkage inhibition, mechanical enhancement and air-entrainment improvement of concrete in plateau region are discussed and proposed from sustainable perspectives.
