The life of concrete is the main factor affecting the safe service life of a building. The reason is that concrete, as the main structure of a building, plays an important role in structural support and resisting the erosion of natural environment. However, there is growing interest in the lifespan of concrete. At present, the life of some concrete may not be able to meet the requirements of some specific environments such as high temperature, cold areas and deep sea. Based on the existing experimental data and research, the action mechanism of gel material and its influence on concrete are analyzed in this paper. In addition, this paper also summarizes the shortcomings of different types of gel materials, so that designers and construction departments can have a better understanding of gel materials. These findings may contribute to a deeper understanding of gel materials and their potential to improve the life of concrete.
