Abstract
Water is a most widely used material for construction work, it is essential for concreting work or plastering work, etc. Curing is the process for controlling the temperature and consists of moisture movement from and into the concrete and the hydration of the cement and consequently continuous increase in the strength and Curing allows continuous hydration of cement, when curing stops strength increasing of the concrete also stops. The aim of this investigation is to study the strength and durability and shrinkage reducing properties of concrete using watersoluble polyethylene glycol 400 as self-curing agent. Research was studied that the use of polyethylene glycol (PEG400) in lineal concrete as a shrinkage reducing agent helps better hydration and hence the strength of concrete. The effect of shrinkage reducing agent (PEG400) on compressive strength, split tensile strength and modulus of rupture determining by varying the percentage of PEG400 by weight of cement from 0 to 2% were studied. The test results were studied for M25 mix concrete.
