        abstract = {for Concrete to reach appropriate Strength and durability, it must be properly cured. Conventional curing technique needs constant supervision and use a lot of water. Proper curing becomes challenging in many places, particularly high-rise construction project and water scare areas. By holding onto internal moisture for cement hydration without the need of external curing, self-curing concrete offers a practical alternative. A thorough case study an evaluation of the literature on self-curing concrete with polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) as an internal curing agent is presented in this work. The study focus on self-curing concrete strength, workability, durability, water retention and sustainability. According to Several Studies adding PEG 400 increase hydration efficiency, reduce Shrinkage cracks and improves compressive strength. Depending on the grade of the concrete the ideal PEG 400 dosage typically Range from 0.5% to 1.5% by weight of cement. Self-curing concrete reduce water consumption and improve construction Quality in difficult environment condition. This paper conclude that self-curing concrete is an economical and sustainable alternative to conventional curing method in modern construction practices},
