Abstract:
SP25 Beginning with a literature review on the effect of sustained high temperatures, this excellent publication reports new research on the effect of exposures up to 1600 F on compressive strength of concrete; designing prestressed concrete reactor vessels with temperatures applied in the range of 35 to 775 F; information for application to design of mass concrete dams; laboratory and field studies on the effect of temperature differentials on slabs; temperature expansion in continuous span bridges; temperature effect on the curing process; concrete construction in hot climates; water-reducing admixtures effect on temperature rise in mass concrete; and using thermoelectric modules to apply temperature changes to mechanically loaded structural models.

Research into methods by which temperature changes could be applied to structural models of concrete structures led to the use of a commerically manufactured solid state heat pump commonly known as a thermoelectric module.

Compressive strength tests were conducted on 3 x 6 in. (735 x 15 cm) cylindrical specimens heated for short duration to temperatures of 200 to 1600F (93 to 871C).

This work was undertaken as part of a study to investigate the effects of sustained elevated temperatures on portland cement concrete as related to its use in a prestressed-concrete-pressure-vessel-reactor.

P.J. Sullivan and Mellor P. Poucher
Mortar and plain concrete beams were subjected to mechanical load cycles in bending and various types of thermal cycles in the range 20 C to 400 C. From measurements of longitudial length changes, beam deflections, and load holding capacity of the beams, comparisions are made between mortar and concrete for thermal expansion, modulus of elasticity, creep deflections, and ultimate load for three types of thermal cycles.
