SHRINK-CONDENSE ADMIXTURE DESIGN USING SELF-CURING METHOD

Some specific water-soluble chemicals for example poly-ethylene glycol are put into the blending water it may reduce evaporation water from concrete mix, which makes it “self-curing”. The harmful chemicals contained in the PEG are controls the evaporation water from mix and increases water holding capacity in nominal concrete mix. And so the mixes doesn't needed additional water concrete, so exterior curing like immersion curing and sprinkle curing aren't needed. This mixture is cured by mixing water alone. Observe test outcomes of Compressive strength, tensile strength and stress-strain relations of self-curing concrete and in contrast to nominal concrete mix. The scope from the paper would be to read the aftereffect of polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) on strength characteristics of Self-curing concrete. The aim would be to read the mechanical sign of concrete i.e., compressive strength and tensile strength by different the proportion of PEG from .5%, 1% and 1.5% by weight of cement for M25 grade of concrete. The dosage of polyethylene glycol is taken as .3% of total weight of cement utilized in mix. Within this project we read the stress-strain relation curves at different proportions like .5%, 1% and 1.5%. To review the exam outcomes of self-curing concrete and when compared to conventional concrete test results. The aim would be to read the durability qualities of self-curing concrete for seven days and 4 weeks and when compared to conventional concrete.
