The imagination of a world without concrete is impossible. Concrete is a soul of infrastructures. Concrete is necessary to gain strength in structures. Conventional concrete is a mixture of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water needs curing to achieve strength. It is required to cure for a minimum duration of 28 days for good hydration & to achieve target mean strength. Lack of water curing can badly affect the strength & durability. Self-curing concrete is one type of modern concrete, which cure itself by retaining water in it. For the same an admixture called Poly Ethylene Glycol (PEG) used as a self-curing admixture. Many researchers used PEG by taking into account preparation & analysis of self-curing concrete is done. Effect of admixture on compressive strength of M20 & mix for 7& 28 days is analyzed. This paper presents the results which are conducted on the concrete which is prepared using PEG-600. The results are encouraging and satisfactory. Also its effect on the structures like permeability, porosity, corrosiveness and moisture content are checked.
