Durability of Lightweight Self-Curing Concrete
Lightweight concrete can significantly reduce a dead load of structural concrete elements compared to normal-weight concrete. Self-curing concrete is one of the innovative concretes that can be cured without using conventional curing regimes. Lightweight concrete is made from lightweight coarse aggregates instead of natural coarse aggregates.

Enhancing the internal curing process of self-compacting concrete
Abstract Internal curing is an important process for high strength concretes such as self-compacting concrete (SCC). A wide range of additives is considered for improving this process and provides necessary water for hydration. Pozzolans such as microsilica and zeolite also can increase the strength and durability. In this study, a range of SAP (0.1%, 0.3% and …

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].
