Title

STRENGTH PERFORMANCE OF SELF CURING CONCRETE IN COMPARISON WITH CONVENTIONAL CONCRETE

Abstract

Today concrete is most widely used construction material due to its good compressive strength and durability. The concept of several self-curing agents is to reduce water evaporation from concrete. And hence there is a need to increase the water retention capacity of concrete compared to conventional concrete. It was found that water soluble polymers can be used as self-curing agents in concrete. The aim of this investigation is to study the strength and durability properties of concrete using water-soluble Polyethylene Glycol as self-curing agent. The function of self-curing agent is to reduce the water evaporation from concrete, and hence they increase the water retention capacity of concrete compared to the conventionally cured concrete. As the water is becoming more scarce now-a-days there is need to implement new techniques to reduce usage of water in construction field. In this study, compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength of concrete containing self-curing agent are investigated and compared with those of conventionally cured concrete. Poly Ethylene Glycol is used as a self curing agent in various percentages as 1%, 1.5% and 2% by weight of cement. M30 concrete mix is used in the study and strength properties of the specimen are determined after 7 days, 14 days and 28 days. Poly ethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) is a super absorbent polymer which reduces the evaporation of water from the surface of concrete and also helps in water retention. In PEG 400, 400 represent the average molecular weight.
