Concrete building safety of fire is better than other building materials such as wood, plastic, and steel,because it is incombustible and emitting no toxic fumes during high temperature exposure. However,the deterioration of concrete because of high temperature exposure will reduce the concrete strength.Mechanical properties such as compressive strength and modulus of elasticity are absolutely corruptedduring and after the heating process. This paper aims to investigate mechanical properties of concrete(especially compressive strength and modulus of elasticity) with various water-cement ratio afterconcrete suffered by high temperature exposure of 500oC.This research conducted experimental method and analytical method. The experimental methodproduced concrete specimens with specifications: (1) specimen’s dimension is 150 mm x 300 mmconcrete cylinder; (2) compressive strength design, f’c = 22.5 MPa; (3) water-cement ratio variation =0.4, 0.5, and 0.6. All specimens are cured in water for 28 days. Some specimens were heated for 1hour with high temperature of 500oC in huge furnace, and the others that become specimen-controlwere unheated. All specimens, heated and unheated, were evaluated by compressive test.Experimental data was analyzed to get compressive strength and modulus of elasticity values. Theanalytical method aims to calculate modulus of elasticity of concrete from some codes and to verifythe experimental results. The modulus elasticity of concrete is calculated by 3 expressions: (1) SNI03-2847-1992 (which is the same as ACI 318-99 section 8.5.1), (2) ACI 318-95 section 8.5.1, and (3)CEB-FIP Model Code 1990 Section 2.1.4.2.The experimental and analytical results found that: (1) The unheated specimens with water-cementratio of 0.4 have the greatest value of compressive strength, while the unheated specimens with watercementratio of 0.5 gets the greatest value of modulus of elasticity. The greatest value of compressivestrength of heated specimens provided by specimens with water-cement ratio of 0.5, while the heatedspecimens with water-cement ratio of 0.4 gets the greatest value of modulus of elasticity, (2) Allheated specimens lose their strength at high temperature of 500oC, (3) The analytical result shows thatmodulus of elasticity calculated by expression III has greater values compares to expression I and II,but there is only little difference value among those expressions, and (4)The variation of water-cementratio of 0.5 becomes the optimum value.

AbstractIn this study, the effect of curing temperature on the properties of slag cement concrete after high-temperature exposure was studied, and elevated curing temperature (45 ± 2 °C and 95% relative humidity (RH)) was selected to compare with the standard curing temperature (20 ± 2 °C and 95%RH). Four different concrete mixes with the same mix proportion, except for different slag replacement ratios, were used: 0% (reference), 30% (slag), 50% (slag), and 70% (slag). After high-temperature exposure at 200, 400, 600, and 800 °C, the effect of slag replacement, high temperature, and curing temperature on the compressive strength and mineralogical and microstructural properties of slag cement concrete were studied. Test results indicated that the compressive strength of concrete cured for 7 d at elevated temperatures increased by 28.2, 20.7, 28.8, and 14.7% compared with that cured at the standard curing condition at slag percentages of 0, 70, 50, and 30%, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM) results revealed that concrete cured at elevated temperatures exhibited a more condensed phase and contained a higher percentage of hydrates than that cured for 7 d in the standard curing condition. However, after 56 d of curing, concrete in the standard curing condition exhibited a more stable phase and a higher concentration of hydrates.

Temperature Exposure

During fire, one or two faces of structural members experience higher temperatures than other faces and the deterioration on these faces may continue after fire. High temperature exposure above 400 °C causes deterioration in strength, modulus of elasticity and durability of concrete. Inclusion of fibers and air entraining agents in concrete mixes may reduce the destructive effects of high temperatures on concrete. Therefore, 8 groups of 0.45 w/c ratio of concrete were designed by using polypropylene fibers as low melting point fibers and hooked end steel fibers as high melting point fibers and air entraining admixture as a chemical additive. 15 cm cubic concrete specimens were produced and the five sides of the cubes were insulated with gypsum boards to maintain one face heating. An electrical furnace was used to heat concrete to 1000 °C and K-type thermocouples were placed in specimens to monitor temperature distribution in concrete. Moreover, two different re-curing methods, air and water, were applied after heating to see the change in mechanical properties and crack occurrences on the heated surface of concrete specimens. SEM and XRD investigations were conducted on the samples taken from the heated surfaces and the inner parts of the concrete in order to understand the morphological changes due to heating and re-curing. Results showed that deterioration on the surfaces due to high temperature exposure continued during air re-curing process and compressive strength and modulus of elasticity values of these specimens also diminished. On the other hand, compressive strength of water re-cured concrete stayed constant after heating and partial recovery of modulus of elasticity were obtained and the positive effect of water re-curing were observed on polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete prominently.

The relation between crack growth and reduction in the compressive strength after high temperature exposure and after air re-curing was investigated in this study. Concrete specimens were heated to 1000 ºC and they were subjected to air re-curing for 28 days. During re-curing period, their heated surfaces were monitored by using a digital single-lens reflex camera and the images were analyzed by using image analysis software. After cooling, the maximum reduction in the compressive strength of concrete was 49.5% and that of air re-cured concrete was 66.8%. Image analyses showed high correlations between crack growth and reduction in the compressive strength. This non-destructive method has the potential to represent the extent of damage in concrete after high temperature exposure.

The effects of sustained high temperature on concrete properties are discussed in this paper. In this experiment, concrete with 6 types of cement were tested after high temperature exposure. Although, test procedures were the same as past literature, test results showed different tendency. The temperature of 50°C at which compressive strength was minimal were found for concrete with high-early strength and medium-heat portland cement, which concrete with other cements showed no change up to 110°C. Relationship between weight loss and compressive strength differed from past literature.

AbstractPreliminary creep tests were performed on SiC whisker reinforced and matrix Si3N4 material fabricated by the NPS technique. The material was extensively crystallised in the as received material, leaving only thin amorphous films surrounding the grains. No improvement in the creep resistance could be detected for the whisker reinforced material. The deformation mechanisms were found to be that of cavitation in the form of microcracks, predominantly at the whisker/matrix interfaces, and the formation of larger cracks. Extensive oxidation of the samples, as a result of high temperature exposure to air, was observed for the materials tested at 1375°C.
