Abstract: Self-curing concrete is a significant innovative concept for environmental sustainability. Countries are advancing while natural resources are disappearing. Water, a fundamental resource for living, is also depleting rapidly. To minimize this loss, Self-Curing Agents are utilized to eliminate the requirement for a curing procedure.
This study will conduct an experiment on a slab of standard size to assess the viability of PEG-600 as a self-curing agent and its consequences. We will conduct fundamental Material Testing to determine its specifications for the Design Mix. Subsequently, the Slump concrete test will be carried out to assess workability, followed by Flexural and Compressive Strength studies by entirely substituting reinforcing with GFRP.
