Abstract

Self-curing concrete gaining popularity and attracting the researchers worldwide as it is the need of the hour. The rapid deletion of ground water table and increasing demand for the drinking water has compelled the construction industry to conserve water during construction of concrete structures. Usage of Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) and Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) as a self-curing agent is drawing the attention of researchers. The current work mainly focusses the obtaining the optimum dosage of SAP based on the mechanical properties such as compressive strength and split tensile strength.
