Abstract– In the present day’s concrete is one of the most rapidly used construction materials in civil engineering due to its high-quality durability and its strength. The durability and strength of concrete will be fulfilled only if it is properly cured. For curing of the concrete large amount of water is required so, in recent year’s new technique developed known as self-curing in which cure of concrete done by itself by retaining moisture content in the concrete. This paper represents the methods of self-curing concrete and past work done so far in this area. It was found that various chemical admixtures such as (PEG), (PEA), (PVA), (SAP), etc and naturally available material like lightweight aggregate, light expanded clay, wood powder, etc. were used as a self-curing agent. Hence this paper focuses on chemicals used, physical and mechanical properties such as (Compression strength; Tensile strength; workability; durability) of self-curing concrete. Literature reviewed shows the different techniques used for self-curing concrete. Keywords— self-curing concrete; mechanical properties; physical properties; lightweight aggregate (LWA), (PEG), (PEA), (PVA), (SAP).
