Three types of self-curing agents A, B, C were developed and tested. The concrete specimens mixed with self-curing agents were left in air after they were casted. Water loss, compressive strength, and volume stability were studied for the self-cured concrete and very satisfactory results were found. For all the cases, the compressive strengths of self-cured concrete show a higher value than the strengths of ordinary concrete. If the relative humidity is higher than 80%, the compressive strengths of self-cured concrete demonstrate a even higher value than the specimens under standard curing.
