Abstract
This study aims to study the effect of heat on concrete strength for short
term period, i.e. the specimens were tested after 1 hour cooled down.
The test specimens were heated in the controlled temperature furnace for
200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 and 800 degree celcius. Two sets of specimens were
heated, one for 1 hour and the other for 2 hours. This is for the purpose of study
of the effect of time on concrete strength.
Concrete strength dramatically decreases under high temperture. From
this experiment it was found that the concrete strength under 400-500 °C will
be 50 percent strength reduction after subjected to heat for 1 hour and 2 hours.
