An Overview on Characteristics of Self-Curing Concrete Using Polyethylene Glycol-400 (PEG)
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
In Today’s era concrete is important material. In the construction projects use of concrete is more. To make structure strong and durable curing is essential. There is a demand for replacement of curing because of lack of water. Improper curing due to negligence's of humanalsoavoidedwith use of alternate curing method. The structures in hilly areas are not curedproperlybecause of in accessibility. Giving importance to this, usage of self-curing concrete was developed by using water-soluble Polyethylene Glycol 400(PEG) curing agent. To save water whichisused for curing PEG plays the important role. As for constructing 1m3 of concrete 3m3 of water isrequire. In that 3m3 maximum water isrequire for curing purpose. In this paper literature review, materialsused, and signifiance of self-curing concrete has given. However, this new construction materialis in the development stage and it has a wide scope in future.
