Abstract:
The effects of early temperature rise in very high strength concrete used in structural elements are investigated. The compressive strengths of specimens are tested and compared to each other and to that of core samples taken from instrumented, experimental columns. Variables affecting the laboratory specimens include cement content, the addition of silica fume, and the curing process.
