        abstract = {Self-curing concrete has become a viable way to overcome the drawbacks of conventional curing techniques, especially in areas with scarce water supplies. Using Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) 400 and PEG 600 as curing agents, this study examines the characteristics of self-curing concrete. PEG, a water-soluble polymer, is well-known for its capacity to retain moisture, which aids in preserving proper hydration during the curing process and enhances the strength and longevity of concrete. The effects of adding PEG 400 and PEG 600 to M20 grade concrete mixtures at varying doses on important characteristics like compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength were evaluated in this study. The findings showed that both PEG 400 and PEG 600 considerably increased the concrete's ability to retain water, lowering evaporation and guaranteeing better cement hydration. The study aims to find the optimum dosage of PEG 400 and PEG 600 on M20 grade concrete.},
