IRJET- Use of Polyethylene Glycol as Self Curing Agent in Self Curing Concrete - An Experimental Approach
0 likes42 views
This document summarizes an experimental study on the use of polyethylene glycol as a self-curing agent in self-curing concrete. Polyethylene glycol was added to concrete mixes in various percentages as a replacement for cement. The compressive and flexural strengths of the concrete cubes and beams were tested at 28 days. The optimum strength was achieved with 2.4% polyethylene glycol replacement for M-20 grade concrete and 1.6% replacement for M-25 grade concrete. The self-curing concrete with polyethylene glycol achieved comparable or higher strengths than traditional water-cured concrete and helps reduce water loss from the concrete for more effective curing.

Water curing is very much necessary to prevent unsatisfactory properties of cementconcrete. Inorder to have good quality curing, surplus of evaporation from the surface need to be prevented. In this research the influence of polyethylene glycol on Compressive strength and Flexural strength of concrete by varying thepercentageofpolyethylene glycol-400. Polyethylene glycol replacedbycementin different percentages (0%. 0.8%, 1.5%, 2.4% & 3.2%). The optimum strength achieved to 2.4% of polyethylene glycol bytheweight of cement of M-20 grade of concrete & 1.6% of polyethylene glycol by the weight of cement of M-25 grade of concrete. Key Words: Compressive Strength, Different Mix, Flexural Strength, Polyethylene Glycol, Self-curing Concrete. 1. INTRODUCTION In the civil engineering concrete structures curing is the important factor for the strength & durability of concrete. The extra internal water is usually provided by using comparatively little amounts of saturated, lightweight weight, polythene Glycol, super absorbent chemical compound particles within the concrete. Once this water isn't pronto offered, as a result of non-percolation of the capillary body, for instance, vital autogenic deformationand (early-age) cracking might result. As a result, the chemical shrinkage occurs throughout cement hydration. During the early stages concrete curing is important because they maintain the moisture content & temperature so properties of concrete might expand. By the help of polyethylene glycol reduces the water loss of concrete and enhances the water preservation capacity compare to conventional concrete. 2. PROJECT OBJECTIVE 1) By using Poly ethyleneGlycolimprovethewatercontentof mix concrete. 2) By adding poly ethylene glycol in different percentage we have to determine the compressive strength & tensile Strength of concrete. 3) Determine the strength of normal concrete & self-curing concrete & compare them. 3. MATERIALS & METHODOLOGY 3.1 Cement: Ordinary Portland cement is used to prepare the mix design of M-25 grade. The cement used was fresh and without any lumps Water – cement ratio is 0.42 for this mix design using IS 456:2007. Cement is an extremely ground material having adhesive and cohesive properties which provide a binding medium for the discrete ingredients.

It seemsto bewatersoluble. It’s nontoxic and inodorous. 3.5 Compressive Strength Test: In this study, a total number of 45 cubes for the control and cement replacement levels of 2.5%, 5%, 10% and 20% were produced respectively.

All freshly cast specimens were left in the moulds for 24 hours before being de – moulded and then submerged in water for curing until the time of testing. 3.6 Flexural strength: Beams of size 10cm x 10cm x 50cm are casted for determining flexural strength. Test on beams are performed at the age of 28 days of the specimen. Placement of specimen in machine is done as per IS: 516- 1959 in the clause no 8.3.1 page no 17. Load is applied at increasing rate of 108 KN/min. Load is applied until specimen fails and load at which specimen fails is recorded. 4. RESULTS & DISCUSSION 4.1 Compressive Strength Test: A minimum of threecubes are casted in each batch mix for determining compressive strength. Tests are performed at the age of 28 days of the specimens. Specimens are placed in the test machine as per IS: 516-1959 clause no 5.5.1 page no 11, also loading is applied on the specimen as per the same IS code.
