  • This study is aim to assess mechanical properties which is highly related to structural safe and durability of 100MPa high strength concrete mixed with amorphous metallic fiber. All specimens were heated with low velocity heating rate(1℃/min.), residual compressive strength and residual flexural strength was evaluated. The specimens were cooled down to room temperature after heating. As a result, in the case of 100MPa high-strength concrete, the residual compressive strength enhancing effect of amorphous metallic fiber has showed with the mix proportion of fiber. In addition, residual flexural strength showed more regular pattern before 300℃ then residual compressive strength, but simillar decreasing behavior was shown after 300℃ like residual compressive strength. Further study about fiber pull-out behavior and fiber mechanical, chemical property change due to temperature is needed.

  • In this paper the possibility of using different regression models to predict the mechanical properties of limestone concrete after exposure to high temperatures, based on the results of non-destructive techniques, that could be easily used in-situ, is discussed. Extensive experimental work was carried out on limestone concrete mixtures, that differed in the water to cement (w/c) ratio, the type of cement and the quantity of superplasticizer added. After standard curing, the specimens were exposed to various high temperature levels, i.e., 200℃, 400℃, 600℃ or 800℃. Before heating, the reference mechanical properties of the concrete were determined at ambient temperature. After the heating process, the specimens were cooled naturally to ambient temperature and tested using non-destructive techniques. Among the mechanical properties of the specimens after heating, known also as the residual mechanical properties, the residual modulus of elasticity, compressive and flexural strengths were determined. The results show that residual modulus of elasticity, compressive and flexural strengths can be reliably predicted using an artificial neural network approach based on ultrasonic pulse velocity, residual surface strength, some mixture parameters and maximal temperature reached in concrete during heating.

  • The characteristics of lightweight aggregate (LWA) with a low specific gravity and high water absorption will significantly change the properties of lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC). This study aimed at exploring the effect of presoaking degree of LWA on the strength degeneracy of LWAC and flexural behavior of LWAC members exposed to elevated temperatures. The residual mechanical properties of the LWAC subjected to elevated temperatures were first conducted. Then, the residual load tests of LWAC members (beams and slabs) after exposure to elevated temperatures were carried out. The test results showed that with increasing temperature, the decreasing trend of elastic modulus for LWAC was considerably more serious than the compressive strength. Besides, the presoaking degree of LWA had a significant influence on the residual compressive strength and elastic modulus for LWAC after exposure to $800^{\circ}C$. Moreover, owing to different types of heating, the residual load bearing capacity of the slab specimens were significantly different from those of the beam specimens.

  • To evaluate the performance of concrete load bearing walls in a structure under horizontal loads after being exposed to real fire, two steps were followed. In the first step, an experimental study was performed on the thermo-mechanical properties of concrete after heating to temperatures of 200-1000℃ with the purpose of determining the residual mechanical properties after cooling. The temperature was increased in line with natural fire curve in an electric furnace. The peak temperature was maintained for a period of 1.5 hour and then allowed to cool gradually in air at room temperature. All specimens were made from calcareous aggregate to be used for determining the residual properties: compressive strength, static and dynamic elasticity modulus by means of UPV test, including the mass loss. The concrete residual compressive strength and elastic modulus values were compared with those calculated from Eurocode and other analytical models from other studies, and were found to be satisfactory. In the second step, experimental analysis results were then implemented into structural numerical analysis to predict the post-fire load-bearing capacity response of the walls under vertical and horizontal loads. The parameters considered in this analysis were the effective height, the thickness of the wall, various support conditions and the residual strength of concrete. The results indicate that fire damage does not significantly affect the lateral capacity and stiffness of reinforced walls for temperature fires up to 400℃.

  • In the safety diagnosis of fire-damaged concrete structures, it is difficult to evaluate the strength and changes in materials due to high temperatures with the existing durability analysis method. In particular, the compressive strength of specimen with different damage levels by thickness is used as a representative value for reducing the compressive strength of the structural member. In this study, a heating experiment was performed with only top face heating and fully heating conditions at 400℃ to 800℃. After heating, splitting tensile test and color analysis were performed to sliced specimens with a thickness of 20mm accompanied by the compressive test of a fully heated specimen. As a result of the experiment, the compressive strength reduction rate calculated from the splitting tensile strength of every sliced specimen appeared to be within 10% of the fully heated specimen on aver age, and the hue value analysis showed consistent color values were observed by red at 400℃-600℃ and gray at 700℃ or above. It follows that the techniques proposed in this study are reasonably assessable to estimate heated temperature and residual compressive strength and damage depth of concrete.

  • This study investigated their properties of spalling resistance and residual compressive strength after fire test corresponding to various ISO, RABT heating curves, and contents of hybrid organic fiber of high strength concrete. The results were summarized as following. As fundamental characters of concrete with hybrid organic fiber, the flowability was directly declined as the increase of fiber contents, and air contents were decreased or increased a little bit, but there was not big difference. The compressive strength was gradually declined sluggishly at 28 days. As properties of fire resistance, in case of RABT heating curves, compare with ISO heating curves a spalling aspect showed till range that has much contents of hybrid organic fiber, but they are mostly peeling spalling, which means spalling aspect didn't happen to inside. In conclusion, in case of W/B 25% high strength concrete, the spalling was prevented over 0.04% of contents of fiber at ISO heating curve and over 0.10% of contents of fiber at the RABT heating curve. In case of spalling was prevented, mass reduction rate according to the change of heating temperature curves showed around 7% at ISO heating curves and around 9% at RABT heating curves. The residual compressive strength rate corresponding to the change of heating temperature curves showed 50%~60% at ISO heating temperature curves and 30%~35% at RABT heating temperature curves in case of spalling was prevented.

  • The Purpose of this study was to establish the basic data on the mechanical properties of PCM in the high temperature range. To this end, an experiment was conducted on the characteristics of the residual compressive strength by temperature (100, 200, 400 and $600^{\circ}C$) with a fixed temperature heating. An after heating test was performed to investigate the properties after fire damage. The result showed that the residual compressive strength of PCM had a tendency to decrease, regardless of the type of polymer. It was also found that when the contents were low, the residual compressive strength started to greatly decrease from the high temperature range of $400^{\circ}C$, and that the specimen containing PAE showed a steeper slope than the specimen containing EVA. However, since little studies have been conducted on the mechanical properties of PCM with the high temperature, it is considered that, in addition to this study, basic studies must be preceded, including studies on the repairing methods.

  • In this research, the thermal properties of limestone fine powder at high temperatures were examined, followed by an analysis of its residual compressive strength when incorporated into concrete under various thermal conditions, to determine its impact on concrete subjected to high heat. The study revealed that at 900℃, limestone micropowder undergoes a decarbonization reaction, where calcium carbonate(CaCO3) decomposes into calcium oxide(CaO), accompanied by an expansion of the limestone powder as temperature increases. This expansion leads to material cracking or crushing starting at temperatures above 500℃. Further analysis on concrete mixed with limestone powder showed that heating up to 300℃ could promote the reaction of hydrates within the concrete, thereby enhancing its strength. However, exposure to temperatures beyond 500℃ causes the limestone powder within the concrete to crack or fracture, significantly reducing the concrete's strength properties. This study highlights the dual role of limestone fine powder in influencing concrete's behavior under high-temperature scenarios, demonstrating an initial strengthening effect followed by a detrimental impact at higher temperatures.

  • The purpose of this study is to present data for the reusing, rehabilitation and estimation of safety of RC structure damaged by fire, and for the prevention of explosive spatting by investigation the properties of explosive spalling, compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity according to kinds of fine aggregate, admixture and water-cement ratios. In explosive spalling properties with kinds of aggregate, explosive spalling does not appear or little at surface in the case of used sea sand, but the case of using recycled sand or crushed sand is worse and worse. Property with the kind of admixture does not appear specially. And high strength concrete with W/C 30.5% was taken spalling, but 55% does not appear. It is found that residual compressive strength after exposed at high temperature showed 45% in W/C 55%, and 64% in W/C 30.5% of its original strength averagely. Ultrasonic pulse velocity is different with kinds of aggregate. W/C. and heating time. When 3 month age after heating ultrasonic pulse velocity is recovered abut 1.3%~8.4% of its 1 month age after heating.

  • The present study is aimed to study the effect of elevated temperatures ranging from 20 to $700^{\circ}C$ on the strain properties of high-strength concrete of 40, 60, 80MPa grade. In this study, the types of test were the stressed test and stressed residual test that the specimens are subjected to a 25% of ultimate compressive strength at room temperature and sustained during heating and when target temperature is reached, the specimens are loaded to failure. Or specimens are loaded to failure after 24hour cooling time. tests were conducted at various temperatures ($20{\sim}700^{\circ}C$) for concretes made with W/B ratios 46%, 32% and 25%. Test results showed that the relative values of elastic modulus decreased with increasing compressive strength grade of specimen and the axial strain at peak stress were influenced by the load before heating. thermal strain of concrete at high temperature was affected by the preload as well as the compressive strength.
