A method for self-curing concrete is provided to solve the problem that the degree of cement hydration is lowered due to the improper curing, and thus unsatisfactory properties of concrete. According to the invention, at least a layer of self-curing agent is applied onto a concrete after placing. The self-curing agent can absorb moisture from atmosphere and then release it into concrete. The concrete can be self-cured without the need for applying extra water or external curing.
