  • Abstract:
  • The study focuses on the benefits and applications of self -curing mortar. Cement mortar produced using mineral admixtures are of denser nature and the curing of such mortar by using conventional methods is found ineffective. Hence the self- curing concept came forward in which water is supplied internally due to which better hydration of product takes place. Self -curing mortar is the concrete that can retain the water content for the enhancement of strength. In this research admixture Polyethylene glycol was used and its effect was examined on the performance of SBA base cement mortar. In the present work, SBA is used as partial replacement for cement mortar. Ordinary Portland cement, SBA and fine aggregates was tested to examine physical properties in accordance with BIS specifications. In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the fresh and harden properties of cement is replaced by 10,15,20 and 25 % of self-curing cement mortar with a constant W/c of 0.5 of self-curing cement are also examined for 0,0.5 and 1 % of self-curing agent The study was aimed to evaluate fresh property like flow mortar test and mechanical properties by compressive strength. The fresh and hardened properties of concrete were studied to check its performance in various curing condition. After 7and 28days with different percentages of sugarcane bagasse ash and polyethylene glycol 400, the average compressive strength is determined. The traditional self-curing mortar cube and the compressive strength are contrasted. According to the research, concrete mixes with up to 1% of polyethylene glycol 400 and 20% sugarcane bagasse ash added to the cement exhibit superior compressive strengths than other mixes.
