• Concrete is one of the most important civil engineering materials of the time, and belongs to an artificial masonry material produced by mixing cementing material, aggregate, and water at appropriate mix ratios, agitating and vibration- forming, and curing under certain conditions. Due to its advantages, such as wide source, low price, and simple process of production, etc., the consumption of concrete is growing faster. In addition, concrete also has merits such as high compression strength, high durability, and wide range of stress rating, etc. Owing to these advantages and merits, concrete is widely used, and is an important material not only in civil engineering but also in ship building, mechanical industry, ocean exploitation, and terrestrial heat engineering, etc.
