The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential use of Para wood particle wastes and cement for producing the cement composite as a new environmental friendly construction material. Strength and durability of cement composites mixed with different mix proportions of Para wood particles (PWP) were evaluated and compared with those of control samples (ordinary Portland cement). To study property degradation, the cement composite test samples were determined under different aging conditions. Three different conditioning schemes including: 1) seawater immersion at room temperature, 2) alkaline solution immersion at room temperature and 3) elevated temperatures were considered in this study. The experimental results show that the average compressive strength and elastic modulus of the cement composites mixed with PWP decreased with the increasing of PWP content. In addition, the average compressive strength of cement composites mixed with PWP aged in alkaline and salt solutions had a similar trend as cement composites with mixed PWP (normal curing). For temperature effect, the average compressive strength significantly dropped between 100°C and 150°C. The experimental results present a potential use of Para wood particle waste in cement composites. Productions manufactured from these materials with the optimum content (2% to 10%) of MPWP are acceptable for non- and structural (with low load carrying capacity) members.

This paper presents the results of elevated temperatures on the compressive of high fly ash content concrete (HFCC). The specimens were prepared with three different replacements of cement by fly ash 30%, 40% and 50% by mass and the residual compressive strength was tested after exposure to elevated temperature 250, 450, 550 and 650°C and room temperature respectively. The results showed that the compressive strength apparently decreased with the elevated temperature increased. The presence of fly ash was effective for improvement of the relative strength, which was the ratio of residual compressive strength after exposure to elevated temperature and ordinary concrete. The relative compressive strength of fly ash concrete was higher than those of ordinary concrete. Based on the experiments results, the alternating simulation formula to determine the relationship among relative strength, elevated temperature and fly ash replacement is developed by using regression of results, which provides the theoretical basis for the evaluation and repair of HFCC after elevated temperature.

Polymer concrete contains aggregates and a polymeric binder such as epoxy, polyester, vinyl ester, or normal epoxy mixture. Since polymer binders in polymer concrete are made of organic materials, they have a very low heat and fire resistance compared to minerals. This paper investigates the effect of basalt fibers (BF) and alginate on the compressive strength of polymer concrete. An extensive literature review was completed, then two experimental phases including the preliminary phase to set the appropriate mix design, and the main phase to investigate the compressive strength of samples after exposure to elevated temperatures of 100 °C, 150 °C, and 180 °C were conducted. The addition of BF and/or alginate decreases concrete compressive strength under room temperature, but the addition of BF and alginate each alone leads to compressive strength increase during exposure to heat and increase in the temperature to 180 °C showed almost positive on the compressive strength. The addition of BF and alginate both together increases the rate of strength growth of polymer concrete under heat from 100 °C to 180 °C. In conclusion, BF and alginate decrease the compressive strength of polymer concretes under room temperature, but they improve the resistance against raised temperatures.

As Carbon-fiber-reinforced SiC-matrix (C/SiC) composites are widely used in high-temperature structural applications, its mechanical behavior at high temperature is important for the reliability of structures. In this paper, mechanical behavior of a kind of 2D C/SiC composite was investigated at temperatures ranging from room temperature (20C) to 600C under quasi-static and dynamic uniaxial compression. The results show the composite has excellent high temperature mechanical properties at the tested temperature range. Catastrophic brittle failure is not observed for the specimens tested at different strain rates. The compressive strength of the composite deceases only 10% at 600C if compared with that at room temperature. It is proposed that the decrease of compressive strength of the 2D C/SiC composite at high temperature is influenced mainly by release of thermal residual stresses in the reinforced carbon fiber and silicon carbon matrix and oxidation of the composite in high temperature atmosphere.

The paper discusses the crushing behavior of various winding angles of glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE) pipes at elevated temperatures. Two different winding angles of composite pipes were chosen for the study; ± 55°, ± 63°. GRE pipes angled ± 55° and ± 63° are compressed using Universal Testing Machine (UTM) at room temperature and elevated temperatures of 45°C, 65°C, and 95°C according to ASTM D695-10 standard. The temperatures were chosen based on the glass transition temperature (Tg) that was measured earlier. The results show that as the temperature is increased, the compressive strength significantly degraded. This is due to the change in the properties of the GRE pipe from a rigid state to a more rubbery state as the composite pipe reached Tg. GRE pipe with winding angle ± 55° show a higher compressive strength compared to ± 63°.

The paper describes the effects of the montmorillonite (MMT) fillers commonly known as nanoclay, on the compression properties of unsaturated polyester resins at different weight percentage of nanoclay. Modified resin specimens with 1, 3 and 5 wt. % of nanoclay contents were prepared and subjected to compressive tests according to ASTM D695. The static uniaxial compression testing were conducted at various temperatures ranging from room temperature (RT) to the temperature closer to its glass transition temperature Tg to study the effect of nanoclay fillers on the compressive stress-strain behaviour at high temperatures (room temperature, 35, 45, and 75°C). The mechanical properties of the nanomodified resin including the elastic modulus, maximum stress and failure strain were determined. The experimental results imply that adding these nanoclay fillers has enhanced the elastic modulus, compressive strength, and toughness without sacrificing the strain to failure and thermal stability of the unsaturated polyester. However it was found that generally, all specimens showed degradation in compressive strength with increases in temperatures.

The high-strength concrete is a cement composite reaching high compressive strength, namely, pursuant to the legislation, higher than 60 MPa in the terms of cube compressive strength. The development of high-strength concretes exceeding 100 MPa is still an up-to-date issue and the production of these concretes is still limited only to a prefabrication. Contemporary construction industry and projecting activity have begun to focus on a construction of statically demanding buildings, which can include e.g. high-rise buildings. Such projecting often requires using of the state-of-the-art materials like cement composites with high mechanical parameters for construction of more subtle buildings. Within this article, the procedure of ready-mixed concretes development with the compressive strength around 100 MPa designed according to a project documentation for actual construction of high-rise building with the height up to 160 meters and 46 floors is described, together with the influence of the aggregate on the resulting composite strength.

Abstract Experiments on the compression of graphite cylinders at elevated temperatures are described. It is found that the short-time compressive strength increases with temperature in the range from room temperature to 2000 C, a variation which is consistent with the previously reported behavior of the tensile strength. Photographs of typical modes of deformation and their corresponding stress-strain curves are presented, but a limited degree of temperature control renders the curves semiquantitative in nature. The large, mutually opposing influences of temperature and strain rate are illustrated by photographs of typical failures, and stress-relaxation curves manifest the plasticity of graphite at high temperatures.

This article deals with the numerical analysis of the bond of a prestressing strand with UHPC heated to elevated temperatures and subsequently cooled. Numerical analysis was performed with experimentally determined material properties of UHPC at a reference temperature of 20 °C and further after heating to temperatures of 200, 400 and 600 °C and subsequent annealing to normal temperature. The resulting deflection depending on the pulling force from the numerical analysis were compared with the experimental results. The results are used to configure the cement composite model for more demanding simulations of structures and load cases.


The High strength concrete defined as per IS 456 as the concrete having characteristic compressive strength more than 65 MPa. The concrete when subject to fire i.e. elevated temperatures loses its properties at a rapid rate. In the present investigation, ordinary vibrated concrete of M90 grade was developed as per the IS 10262. The hardened properties of concrete like compressive strength and split tensile strength were determined for concrete at ordinary temperature. The concrete specimens were subjected to elevated temperatures of 400oC, 600 oC, and 800 oC and then the specimens were brought to room temperature under different cooling regimes like air cooling and water quenching. The compressive residual strength of concrete was determined and a typical compared was made with the control specimen. The decrease in compressive strength of concrete at 800 oC was high compared to that at 400 oC.
