摘要：The objective of this study is to compare the mechanical behavior of self-compacting and selfcuringconcrete with the conventional concrete. This research is proposed to adding chemical admixtures andpozzolanic material for making self-compacting concrete (SCC). Also, it is proposed to use self-curingcompound instead of conventional or ambient water curing. Many researchers studied about the self-compactingconcrete only and not for self-compacting and self-curing concrete, but this study proposed a methodology forself-compacting and self-curing concrete. Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is achieved by reducing the volumeratio of aggregate to cementitious materials, increasing the paste volume by using fly ash andsuperplasticizer(SNF). Curing techniques and curing duration significantly affect “curing efficiency.”Techniques used in concrete curing are mainly divided into two groups namely, Water adding techniques andWater retraining techniques. The self-curing technique is part of water retaining technique using variousmethods. In this paper self-compacting self-curing concrete (SCSCC) has been studied using PolyethyleneGlycol 4000 (PEG4000). Mechanical properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexuralbehavior of the beam has been studied. The specimen with 1% PEG4000 performed well when compared to theconventional specimen.
