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.

The present paper describes the results of creep tests carried out at LNEC on two kinds of mass cured concrete; the constant load being applied at different ages (3 to 365 days) and at two test temperatures: room temperature and 45 C.

The dynamic modulus of the concrete and the coefficent of expansion of concrete and reinforced concrete slabs have been determined in the tests reported.

Measurements taken at four different road section locations show that if there is a temperature differential between the top and bottom of a concrete pavement slab there is a tendency for the slab to curl. When this curling tendency is restrained, as by the weight of the slab itself, large stresses can be created.
