Concrete is a broadly used material for construction, due to its high strength, availability, long life span and compatibility. A normal Conventional concrete requires at least 28 days of curing achieving its advisable strength. Due to the large development in construction and due to absence of water at many places, conventional curing method proves to be costly and comes with many problems. In this situation, self-curing concrete comes into light. Self-curing concrete is the special concrete which gains importance in current days as it avoids the necessity of implementing extra water for curing. This type of curing technique can widely adopted in places where shortage of water is there. In this research, attempts have been done to understand the feasibility and efficiency of self-curing concrete and compare it with the conventional concrete.
