Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increased use of concrete in high temperature environments, it is essential for engineers to have a knowledge of the properties and mathematical modelling of concrete in such extreme conditions. Bringing together, for the first time, vast amounts of data previously scattered throughout numerous papers and periodicals, this book provides, in two parts, a comprehensive and systematic review of both the properties and the mathematical modelling of concrete at high temperatures. Part I provides a comprehensive description of the material properties of concrete at high temperatures. Assuming only a basic knowledge of mathematics, the information is presented at an elementary level suitable for graduates of civil engineering or materials science. Part II describes the response of concrete to high temperatures in precise terms based on mathematical modelling of physical processes. Suitable for advanced graduate students, researchers and specialists, it presents detailed mathematical models of phenomena such as heat transfer, moisture diffusion, creep, volume changes, cracking and fracture. Concrete at High Temperatures will prove a valuable reference source to university researchers and graduate students in civil engineering and materials science, engineers in research laboratories, and practising engineers concerned with fire resistance, concrete structures for nuclear reactors and chemical technology vessels.

Download or read book Modelling of Concrete Behaviour at High Temperature written by Alain Millard and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-20 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the work done by the RILEM Technical Committee 227-HPB (Physical properties and behaviour of High-Performance Concrete at high temperature). It contains the latest research results on the modelling of concrete behaviour at high temperature. Some monographs on the subject have been published already but generally they do not cover the whole range of possibilities which are encountered in the literature as well as in practice. Moreover, there has been a rapidly increasing development of computational models during the last twenty years, which deserves attention. Therefore, it is the aim of this report to compile and present most of the tools that are proposed in the literature and are nowadays available for practice in some commercial computational packages. The book is divided in 3 main chapters dealing with: - engineering modelling - advanced modelling - constitutive parameters including hydral, thermal and mechanical parameters. The results presented especially target a group of users composed by universities and research laboratories, building material companies and industries, material scientists and experts, building and infrastructure authorities, designers and civil engineers.

Download or read book Thermal Degradation of Concrete in the Temperature Range from Ambient to 315 C 600 F written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is concerned with determining the effect of elevated temperatures on the behavior of concrete. Emphasis is placed on quantifying the degree of potential degradation of the physical properties of concrete in high-level waste storage tanks. The range in the temperature elevation of interest covers from ambient to 315°C (600°F). The literature has been reviewed to examine the applicable experimental data and quantify the degradation in the concrete and reinforcing steel. Since many variables and test conditions control the results in the data base, upper and lower bounds of the degraded properties at temperatures applicable to the environments of the storage tanks are summarized and presented in explicit forms. Such results are useful in assessing the effect of elevated temperatures on the structural behavior of the tanks. Also, they provide the technical basis for a parametric study that may be necessary to investigate the thermal aspects of the structural integrity of the tanks.

Book excerpt: One of the main reasons why portland cement concrete is so widely used in building construction is that it can help satisfy a cardinal need for public safety in face of the hazards of fire better than most of its competitors. Concrete is incombustible and a reasonable insulator against the transmission of heat. These qualities alone help confine the fire and limit the extent of the damage, and though the surface may crumble or spall, the essential engineering properties of the body of the concrete remain intact. A temperature of 649°C (1200°F) may be reached before 25 percent of the original compressive strength of a calcareous aggregate concrete is lost (the corresponding temperature for a siliceous aggregate concrete is about 427°C (800°F)). However, the main role of concrete in a fire is to protect any embedded steel for as long as possible against a rise in temperature to the point where its physical properties are reduced significantly, causing excessive structural deflections that might lead ultimately to collapse. Fifty percent of the yield strength of mild steel is lost by about 593°C (1100°F) (the corresponding temperature in the case of the tensile strength of prestressing wire is about 427°C (800°F)).

This book was released on 2012-12-17 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the rheological properties of fresh concrete, the hydration phenomenon of cement responsible for structuration, the relationship between the characteristics of the porous solid obtained and its mechanical performances or resistance to the aggressive penetration requires a complex knowledge of the physicochemistry of reactive porous materials. The development of simple formulation rules therefore requires the assimilation of this knowledge and a good command of the properties of these materials. The purpose of this book is to provide the mix designer with useful knowledge on granular materials and porous materials, which will enable the innovative design of concrete. Topics covered include the characterization of granular materials, the concepts of porosity and specific surface area, and the transport properties (diffusion and permeation) of concrete. Some of these topics are already covered in other general books dedicated to granular or porous materials. The objective here is to bring them together in one book by adapting them for use by concrete specialists. Applications in the form of exercises are offered at the end of each chapter to enable readers to assimilate the theoretical knowledge and to apply such knowledge to concrete problems encountered in civil engineering. Contents 1. Description of Granular Materials, Definitions. 2. Granulometry. 3. Specific Surface Area of Materials. 4. Voids in Granular Materials and the Arrangement of Grains. 5.
