Abstract:

The aim of this investigation was to study about the strength properties of concrete using water soluble Polyethylene Glycol as the self-curing agent. The function of self-curing agent is to reduce the water evaporation from the concrete, and hence they increase the water retention capacity of concrete compared to the conventionally cured concrete. The use of self-curing admixtures is the very important from the point of view that saving of water is a necessity in every day (each one cubic meter of concrete requires 3m3 of water in a construction, most of which is used for the curing). In this study, compressive strength and split tensile strength of concrete containing self-curing agent is investigated and compared with those of the conventionally cured concrete.
