Abstract:
Reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures are not, in general, exposed to high temperature, and the thermal stress is of almost no importance in these structures. However, with the recent trend of establishment of nuclear power stations, concrete has come in to use in such places as shielding, pressure vessels and containment structures. . .This paper presents results of an investigation on the determination of proportion, selection of material, the concept of design constants in analyzing thermal stress, and factor of elevated temperature affecting thermal and mechanical properties of concrete.
