Concrete canvas (CC) offers the benefits of being soft and simple to lay, not requiring vibration mixing or formwork support during construction, hardening quickly, and not requiring heavy equipment. Since CC emerged, it has garnered much attention and extensively studied. This paper systematically reviewed the research progress on CC in two aspects: (1) The influences of cement types, water-cement ratio and space structure of 3D spacer fabric on the mechanical properties of CC were summarized. (2) The application scenarios of CC and material properties were summarized. These conclusions provide important references for further research on the application of CC.
