Review of the study on macro-mechanical characteristics of wet concrete and their analysis methods

Abstract

Abstract. Macro-mechanical properties of wet concrete are important for concrete structure design because the pore saturation in concrete has great influence on the mechanical properties of concrete. The research states of macro-mechanical characteristics of wet concrete were introduced in the filed of tests and meso-mechanical analysis methods. The test research achievements and application of meso-mechanical analysis methods on macro-mechanical characteristics of wet concrete were stated. The factors influencing the macro-mechanical characteristics of wet concrete were provided. Finally, the research trends on macro-mechanical properties of wet concrete in experiment and meso-mechanical analysis theory, as well as the problems to be solved are pointed out and prospected based on above.
