Abstract: Concrete is the ancient material of construction. The relative volumes of concrete floor, coarse get worse, fine blend and standard water mixed along control the properties of concrete. Unnecessary evaporation of water out of fresh concrete should be eliminated, otherwise the level of cement hydrating would obtain lowered and thereby tangible may develop unsatisfactory properties. To enhance real property, curing of concrete is identified as providing satisfactory moisture, temp and time for to allow the real to achieve the sought after properties. It is also described as keeping the concrete in moist and enough so that the hydration of cement can certainly continueThis project aims to study the potency of concrete attained by self-curing method. Self-curing or water less curing is a type which can be used to hold the moisture in concrete for ideal hydration of cement and minimize the self-desiccation.Conventionally, curing of concrete means making conditions such that water is not lost from the specimen through the surface. Polyethylene Glycol, Paraffin Wax, Acrylic corrosive are a portion of the regularly accessible hydrophilic materials which is used in self curing. The experimental study is done by using sodium lignosulfonate as a self –curing agent and partially replacing coarse aggregate with light weight aggregate (waste granite).The devastating quality and split elasticity of self-restoring concrete with fluctuating rates (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%) of sodium lignosulfonate and 10% substitution of not substantial aggregate for 7, 14, 28 days is tried and contrasted and customary cement of comparative blend structure.
