Title

EFFECT OF VARIOUS TEMPERATURES ON THE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE

Abstract

This work was carried out to assess the effect of high temperatures on compressive strength of concrete. Effect of fire on concrete is a relatively less explored area because of the lesser use of RCC structures in Europe/USA as compared to steel structures. Concrete does not burn , it can not be ‘set on fire’ like other materials in a building and it does not emit any toxic fumes when affected by fires. It will also not produce smoke or drip molten particles, unlike some plastics and metals, so it does not add to the fire load. For this reason concrete is said to have a high degree of fire resistance and in the majority of applications, concrete can be described as virtually ‘Fire Proof ‘.This excellent performance is due in the main to concrete’s constitute materials. (i.e. Cement and Aggregate ) which when chemically combined with concrete, form a material that is essentially inert and importantly for fire safety design has a relatively poor thermal conductivity. It is this slow rate of heat transfer (conductivity ) that enables concrete to act as an effective fire shield not only between adjacent spaces, but also to protect itself from fire damage. The rate of increase of temperature through the cross section of concrete element is relatively slow and so internal zones do not reach the same high temperature as surface exposed to flames. When concrete is exposed to the high temperatures of a fire, a number of physical and chemical changes can take place.
