Abstract:

Water is a source of life. In the upcoming era, society faces dramatic issues on water scarcity. Construction without water is practically impossible. In the manufacturing of concrete, Curing requires a large quantity of water. New advancement in Science and technology to ensure undisturbed hydration with replenishment of water loss and to maintain temperature for the process of hydration as in [9]. This will intend the development of strength and durability of concrete. Curing decreases the permeability of the hardened concrete, thereby reducing the crack formation. . In this experimental study, the conventional concrete is compared internally cured with Lightweight. Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA) and Sodium Polyacrylate (SP). Conventional concrete is compared with self-curing concrete. All the testing procedures are formulated as per Indian Standards.

Keywords:

Internal curing, Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA), Sodium Polyacrylate (SP), Self-curing, Superabsorbent Polymer.
