    Self-curing concrete is produced using the same procedures as conventional concrete. The process involves carefully measuring and mixing the dry components like cement, sand, and aggregate along with water and Polyethylene Glycol. The mixture is then placed into molds and compacted via vibration before being allowed to cure at room temperature for 7 and 28 days without the need for additional water curing. This self-curing process allows the concrete to hydrate and gain strength through an internal curing mechanism provided by the Polyethylene Glycol additive.

    SELF CURING CONCRETE

    6.1 Self Curing Concrete Production:


    Self Curing concrete production is done using the same procedure as that of
    conventional cement concrete. The detailed process is as given below:
    (i) Batching: Measuring various components of concrete in correct proportions
    according to the Mix desired is called batching. Weight batching is adopted in this
    work.
    (ii) Mixing: The dry components (cement, sand and coarse aggregate), are introduced
    into the pan mixer and mixed thoroughly for 4 minutes initially and Water is
    added. Polyethylene Glycol (PEG400) is introduced taking the quantity depends
    upon the weight of cement and percentage got in previous chapter. Wet mixing is
    continued for another 2 minutes for uniform mixing of concrete ingredients.
    Concrete can now be tested for workability.

    (iii)

    Placing and Compaction: Placing the concrete in cube moulds and


    compaction by vibration for 10 seconds are carried out without any delay after
    concrete is ready. Delay in placing and compaction should be avoided.

    (iv) Curing: All the test specimens were stored at room temperature and were kept for
    self curing for 7 and 28 days.
