The objective of this paper is to compare the mechanical behaviour of smart concrete with the conventional concrete. This research is proposed to adding chemical admixtures for making self-compacting concrete (SCC). Also it is proposed to use self-curing compound instead of conventional water curing. Many researchers studied about the self-compacting concrete only and not for self-compacting and self-curing concrete, but this study proposed a methodology for self-compacting and self-curing concrete. Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is achieved by reducing the volume ratio of aggregate to cementitious materials, increasing the paste volume and using various viscosity enhancing admixtures and super plasticizers. Curing techniques and curing duration significantly affects “curing efficiency”. Techniques used in concrete curing are mainly divided into two groups namely, Water adding techniques and Water-retraining techniques. Self-curing technique is part of water retaining technique using various methods. In this paper self-compacting self-curing concrete (SCSCC) has been studied using Polyethylene Glycol 4000 (PEG4000). Mechanical properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural behaviour of beam has been studied. The specimen with 1% PEG4000 performed well when compared to conventional specimen. The ultimate load and ultimate deflection for smart concrete beam was increased 23.53% and 35.48% when compared control beam.
