Rapid-setting mixes might sound like a rockstar, but handle them with care. They harden quickly, so you've got to be fast. Standard mix is your reliable friend, giving you some wiggle room before it sets. The Concrete Curing Process. Curing concrete isn't just a fancy term; it's a crucial step in ensuring your DIY masterpiece stays together.

Compared with internal curing, self-curing increases the concrete's water retention capacity using a self-curing agent to reduce water evaporation [8]. The most commonly used self-curing agent is polyethylene glycol (PEG)-a hydrophilic material that bonds with water molecules through hydrogen, subsequently decreasing the vapor pressure [9], [10].

ASTM C1017 defines flowing concrete as "concrete that is characterized as having a slump greater than 190 mm (7½ in.) while maintaining a cohesive nature". Flowing concrete can be proportioned with an even higher slump to be self-leveling, which means that it is capable of attaining a level surface with little additional effort from the ...

Similarly to the division accepted in external curing, RILEM TC-196 distinguishes between two categories of internal curing: (a) internal water curing (sometimes called "water entrainment"), when the curing agent performs as a water reservoir, which gradually releases water, and (b) internal sealing, when the curing agent is intended to ...

Self-curing concrete is achieved by means of replacing a part of aggregate by lightweight aggregate or adding chemical admixtures. The self-curing process of concrete takes place from inside to outside, thus reducing the autogenous shrinkage and self-desiccation, especially for the high-performance concrete with relatively low water/binder ratio.
