  • Abstract:
  • The advantages and uses of self-curing mortar are the main subjects of the study. Because cement mortar made with mineral admixtures is denser in nature, it is observed that typical curing techniques are inefficient for curing this type of mortar. This led to the development of the self-curing concept, which involves supplying water internally to improve product hydration. Concrete that can hold onto water to increase strength is known as self-curing mortar. PEG was utilised as an additive in this study, and its impact on the performance of cement mortar with a POFA (Palm Oil Fuel Ash) source was investigated. POFA is utilised in this work to partially replace cement mortar. Physical qualities of POFA, fine aggregates, and ordinary Portland cement were tested in compliance with BIS requirements. In this study, 10, 15, 20, and 25% of self-curing cement mortar with a constant W/c of 0.5 of self-curing cement are substituted for cement, and the fresh and hardening properties of the cement are also investigated for 0, 0.5, and 1% of self-curing agent. The purpose of the study was to assess novel qualities such as the flow mortar test and mechanical properties using compressive strength. In order to evaluate concrete's performance under various curing conditions, its fresh and hardened properties were examined. Following 7- and 28-days various ratios of polyethylene glycol 400 and palm oil fuel ash, the mean compressive strength is ascertained. A comparison is made between the compressive strength and the conventional self-curing mortar cube. The study found that concrete mixtures containing up to 1% polyethylene glycol 400 and 20% palm oil fuel ash had better compressive strengths than other combinations.
