 Abstract

Curing determines durability of concrete and so it is most important post casting

activity (manufactures litreture & Is 456 ) .But there is no data available about curing
water quantity and now a days water has became costlier .So to calculate expance of
water and to ensure proper curing of the concrete we determined the approximate
quantity of water required for curing.

Concrete is a composite material composed of cement, fine and coarse aggregate and
water that hardens over time.

Hydration is a chemical reaction in which the major compounds in cement form

chemical bonds with water molecules and become hydration products. The hydration is
exothermic reaction and it is necessary to keep surface cool for gaining of strength in
concrete. Concrete curing is the process of maintaining adequate moisture in concrete
within a proper temperature range in order to aid cement hydration at early ages.
Millenium21 is a new admixture product in market and is used as internal curing
compound in this experimental study. In this experimental study the effects of
Millenium21 were studied on strength with different dosage of admixture.

Abstract: Concrete is a composite material composed of cement, fine and coarse

aggregate and water that hardens over time. When aggregate is mixed with dry Portland
cement and water, the mixture forms a fluid slurry that is easily poured and molded into
required shape. The cement reacts with the water and other ingredients to form a hard
matrix that binds the materials together into a durable stone-like material that has many
uses. Hydration is a chemical reaction in which the major compounds in cement form
chemical bonds with water molecules and become hydration products. The hydration is
exothermic reaction and it is necessary to keep surface cool for gaining of strength in
concrete. Concrete curing is the process of maintaining adequate moisture in concrete
within a proper temperature range in order to aid cement hydration at early ages.
Millenium21 is a new admixture product in market and is used as internal curing

Abstract: As per the previous studies of various internal compounds, the durability and
strength of the internally cured specimens is much greater than the conventionally cured
specimens. Millenium21 is new product in market and thus is used as internal curing
compound in this experimental study. The quality of structure does not solely depend
upon strength gain only. Thus the durability has to be studied. In this experimental
study the effects of Millenium21 were studied on strength and durability of concrete.
Internal curing compound is used in concrete which will acquire uniform curing using
minimal amount of water which is not possible with conventional curing techniques that
in turn leads to improper curing and development of cracks. Therefore Millenium 21 is
mixed in concrete to gain long term durability access.
