Concrete is a mixture of cement, coarse-aggregates, fine aggregates and water with or without admixtures. It got strength by hydration process. To continue hydration, the relative humidity inside the concrete should be 80%. For maintain moisture, curing is needed. Curing is supply of water from outside(External Curing) or from inside (with help of any moisture containing agent i.e. Self-Curing). In this study, we review some previously published papers on self-curing concrete to find out suitable moisture retaining agents and some other admixtures to improve moisture holding capacity of concrete. The effect of self-curing agents on compressive strength is also reviewed.
