3. INTRODUCTION
 Concrete
The word “concrete” comes from latin word is “concretus”. This word means grow together.
Concrete is composite material made of aggregate and binded by cement paste for hardened.
Concrete of composite material
 Cement
 Fine aggregate
 Coarse aggregate
 Water
 Concrete is a versatile material that can easily be mixed to a variety of special needs and formed to any shape.
 Concrete is the most important construction material in construction industry. Every structure that we see
around, are constructed by using concrete like building, bridges, roads, dams, etc.

5. INTRODUCTION
 Portland cement is a successor to a hydraulic lime.
 The next development, taking place about 1800 in England and France, was a material obtained by
burning nodules of clayey limestone.
 Soon afterward in the United States, a similar material was obtained by burning a naturally occurring
substance called “cement rock.”
 Water is basic element for preparing concrete.
 The main causes of hardening of concrete is hydration due to water.

6. INTRODUCTION
 Cement in concrete, needs proper curing for hydration in order to get enough hardness.
 Calotropis gigantea is a waste plant which grows in fields and terrains without any special care or water.
This milk is tried also as self-curing agent.
 Spinacia oleracea is usually called as Palak greens in India and it is a type of green popularly
consumed as food product. It’s paste is tried to self-curing agent.
 Natural stone processing plants generates huge quantity of stone dust with a crucial impact over human’s
environment.
 During the transformation process of marbles, original marble mass is lost by approximately 25% in the
form of dust.

7. INTRODUCTION
 Annually, 250-400 tons of Stone wastes are produced on site.
 Waste during quarrying by mechanized processes can be approximated at 30% to 40% of the production.
 The Conventional quarrying techniques of blasting creates a waste percentage of 60% to 70%.
 Due to several researches is going on to identified correct curing agent which give desire properties as
compare to normal cure concrete. Polyethylene Glycol which decrease the surface tension of water and
minimize water evaporation from concrete due to the increase water retention properties.

8. INTRODUCTION
 Advantages of Self Curing Concrete
 Reduces autogenously cracking.
 self-curing
 Increases mortar strength and early age strength.
 Greater utilization of cement.
 Low Curing.

Polyethylene Glycol with marble powder based M25 grade concrete.
 To study about the comparison between the property of natural bio self-cured agent mix concrete and

11. LITERATURE REVIEW
 R. Malathy (2017) studiedabout theproperties of workability, strength and durability of concretemix M20, M30 and M40 grade concrete
with the additional ingredients in concrete such as fly ash, Spinacea Oleracea, Calotropis Gigantea and Polyethylene Glycol. It shows
betterresultsin propertiesof workability,strengthanddurabilityascomparetonormalmix.
 Patel (2016) et al Study conducted that in this study, 4%, 8% and 12% marble powder is replaced with cement and performs Compressive
Strength, Split Tensile Strength and Flexural Strength to check out the performance of M30 Grade concrete and check durability test.
Replacing8% ofmarblepowderwith cement gives satisfiedresults.

12. LITERATURE REVIEW
 Shikha Tyagi (2015) Experimental studied about the properties of high strength concrete and durability.
In this experimental study 0-2% dosages of PEG by the weight of cement are mixed in concrete for
internal curing in M25 and M40 grade. It is found out that PEG is the most appropriate self-curing
compound on account of improving workability and strength of concrete.
 Mandiwal (2018) et al studied about the addition of PEG in distinct percentage 0%, 0.8%, 1.5%, 2.4%
& 3.2% by weight of cement. The optimum strength achieved to 2.4% of polyethylene glycol by the
weight of cement of M-20 grade of concrete & 1.6% of polyethylene glycol by the weight of cement of
M-25 grade of concrete.

13. LITERATURE REVIEW
 Shirulea (2012) et al studied that the waste materials affect environment badly and create related to the
environment while left openly. Therefore, the study is based on reuse of waste material. Waste materials
for producing new material. At the time mining, rejection of stones generates solid waste while stone
slurry is a semi-liquid material as it contains some amount of water used for cooling polishing and
lubricating the sawing machines. Stone slurry generated from stone industry contains approximately
40% of total production. Annual output of stone industry is about 68 million tons of final production. It
is important to examine the physical and mechanical properties of industrial waste material.

14. LITERATURE REVIEW
 Unnithan (2017) et al reviewed that considering the reducing amount of water in present days, it’s very
important to find out a substitute of water for construction work. Curing of concrete is process of
maintain adequate water content in concrete during hydration. However, it is not possible to provide
enough curing in construction work due to different difficulties like human negligence, environment,
terrain and availabilities of water etc. So it is mandatory to find selfcuring agents. It can perform by
some methods such as using lightweight aggregate, super absorbent polymers, chemical agents or
shrinkage reducing admixtures.
