Abstract
This report reviews the properties of concrete which is cured by atmospheric steam under restrained stress. The merits of this restrained steam method compared to the non restrained method is that this method can obtain high quality concrete, that is to say, concrete with faster development of strength without expanded cracks. However even with this method, if the curing temperature is as high as 95℃, many cracks tend to appear on the surface of concrete specimens, and the strength of concrete remains low. The absorption of steam cured concrete is slightly higher than that of non steam cured concrete.
