Abstract |
|
Self-curing concrete is one of the special concrete in mitigating in-sufficient curing due to human negligence paucity of water in arid area, inaccessibility to structures in difficult terrain and in areas where the presence of fluorides in water will badly affect the various characters of concrete. The present study involves the use of shrinkage reducing admixture polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) which helps in self-curing and for better hydration and strength. Barite powder (BASO4) is used as a partial replacement to fine aggregate of about 30% is used in the self-curing concrete beam and also an hot rolled steel I section is encased in the beam. The flexural behavior of these concrete beams are studied and compared with each other. |
