EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON BEHAVIOUR OF CONCRETE USING SELF CURING AGENTS
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 30, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Concrete is most widely used construction material due to its good compressive strength and durability. Depending upon the nature of work, the constituent materials; cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water are mixed in specific proportions to produce concrete. Concrete needs congenial atmosphere by providing moisture for a minimum period of 28 days for good hydration and to attain desired strength. Any laxity in curing will badly affect the strength and durability of concrete. Self-curing concrete is one of the special concretes in mitigating insufficient curing due to human negligence and inaccessibility of structures in difficult terrains. It increases water retention capacity of mix. Many studies are done about the usage of Self curing concrete. In the present study, the effect of admixture, Poly Ethylene Glycol (PEG) & Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) are studied with proportions of PEG 0 - 2% and SAP 0-0.4% in M25 grade of concrete. Comparing both types of concrete with conventional concrete,the compressive, split tensile and flexural strength are found and optimum percentage of curing agent is determined.
