DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH STRENGTH SELF-COMPACTED SELF-CURING CONCRETE WITH MINERAL ADMIXTURES

Strength Characteristics of Self-curing Concrete

Today concrete is most widely used construction material due to its good compressive strength and durability. Depending upon the nature of work the cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water are mixed in specific proportions to produce plain concrete. Plain concrete needs congenial atmosphere by providing moisture for a minimum period of 28 days for good hydration and to attain desired ...

Development of High-strength Self-consolidating Concrete

Properties of Self-Compacting Concrete with Machine-Made Sand and High-Volume Mineral Admixtures

Based on appropriate assessment methods and indexes of self-compacting concrete proposed, properties of concrete made with river-sand and machine-made sand was firstly compared in different mix proportions. The techniques such as basic parameters optimization of mix proportion, admixture composition, large-volume mineral admixtures addition for preparing machine-made sand self-compacting concre...

Development of High Strength Self Curing Concrete Using Super Absorbing Polymer

Concrete is an essential building material which is widely used in construction industry all over the world due to its compressible strength. Curing of concrete plays a vital role in durability and other performance necessities. Improper curing can affect the concrete performance and durability easily. When areas like scarcity of water, structures is not accessible by humans external curing can...

Eco-friendly Self-curing Concrete Incorporated with Polyethylene Glycol as Self-curing Agent (RESEARCH NOTE)

Today concrete is most generally utilized development material in the world due to its strength and sturdiness properties. To attain good strength, curing of concrete is important so we introduce the concept of self-curing concrete rather than immersion or sprinkle curing to avoid water scarcity. It was observed that water solvent polymers can be utilized as a self-curing agent, i.e. polyethyle...
