Follow. Self-curing concrete is achieved by means of replacing a part of aggregate by lightweight aggregate or adding chemical admixtures. The self-curing process of concrete takes place from inside to outside, thus reducing the autogenous shrinkage and self-desiccation, especially for the high-performance concrete with relatively low water ...
Self-curing concrete is one type of special concrete which is mitigated insufficient curing due to human negligence, scarcity of water in arid areas. The use of poly-ethylene Glycol (PEG400) in conventional concrete as admixtures helps better hydration and hence strength of concrete. The effect of admixture (PEG400) used in concrete helps to ...
In order to accurately analyze the effect of curing temperature on the mechanical properties of the samples, the compressive strength of the carbonated samples cured at 0, 30, 60 and 90 °C was evaluated and plotted in Fig. 4. When the curing temperature is 0 °C, the compressive strength of the sample carbonated for 0.5 h is 32 …

Effect of Curing on concrete performance. The purpose of curing is to ensure that the concrete does not dry out prematurely, but retains moisture so that it will build up strength and gain durability and resistance to wear. The concrete should be kept continuously damp for at least 7 days to achieve satisfactory curing.
Proper curing ensures concrete reaches its designed strength and durability by controlling moisture loss. Common curing methods include water curing …
Curing plays an important role in the strength and durability of concrete. It involves preventing moisture loss from concrete to allow the hydration process to continue and gain strength. Some common curing methods include ponding, sprinkling with water, using wet coverings like burlap or plastic sheets, sealing the surface, and steam curing.
This document discusses various factors that affect the choice of building construction materials. It describes key properties that materials must have for different applications, including strength, resistance to water, acids, fire, weathering, frost, and durability. The document emphasizes that understanding materials' properties allows ...
