Zusammenfassung: | Now a days, the shortage of potable water increases, for domestic and commercial purposes due to environmental conditions. Due to this scarcity, curing of concrete is affected and in this point of view water assets are more valuable every day and becomes more economical. Traditional Curing used for retaining moisture within the concrete elements during the early days and beyond to develop the desired properties in terms of strength & durability. To develop the modern era curing, a few of self-curing agents like Super Absorbent Polymers, Polyethylene Glycol (PEG 400) has been used for internal curing of concrete used for reducing the hydration process. In this experimental study, Supplementary Cementitious Materials like Class F Flyash, Silica Fume and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS), have been casted for 65%+25%+15% (M2), 65%+20%+15% (M6), 65%+25%+10% (M10) and 65%+20%+15% (M11) of optimal mix proportions. The sorptivity assessments have being carried out on all blended mixes of Self Cured Concrete with size of 15 cm x 15cm x15cm. The pH value of the acidic medium was at 0.45 by submerging in acid, the specimen samples are brought out and were cleaned in repeatedly with water and kept in atmospheric condition for two days for constant weight and then the specimens are balanced using weighing scale and loss in weight and hence the percentage in loss of weight was premeditated within and after 28 days with different mix proportion of M30 grade of concrete supplementary cementitious materials like Flyash, Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag and Silica Fume with PEG 400 as 1% by its weight. |
