Abstract
In this paper, the results statistical and graphical analysis of a comparative study of curing methods for high-performance concrete is discussed. The results are obtained from an experimental investigation carried out on concrete cubes. Mainly, two experiments were conducted: concrete cube strength test using a Compressive Testing Machine (CTM) and a permeability test. Concrete cubes of M35, M45, M50, M60, and M70 were cast and they were cured for 8 h, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 28 days, 56 days, and 128 days by three curing methods, namely, steam curing, water curing and sealing compound curing. By using results obtained from this experimental investigation is compared to find out the strength of concrete at the age of all curing periods mentioned above for individual grades of concrete. In addition, a comparison of the compressive strength of concrete with the early strength of concrete across all grades is investigated. Furthermore, a study on the percentage change in strength w. r. t. water is also conducted.
