Abstract

  Since the 1970s, the mechanical properties of concrete at high temperature, such as compressive strength, elastic modulus, thermal strain, etc. have been investigated. Internal and external factors should be effect to concrete elevated temperature. In particular, the thermal properties of aggregate and cooling conditions are most important to estimate residual mechanical properties. This study evaluates the mechanical properties of concrete with aggregate type and cooling methods. We use normal and light aggregate for different thermal properties, and also test mechanical properties to use Ø100×200 mm cylinder specimen according to target temperature, slow cooling and water cooling. We found that normal aggregate concrete that uses is more highly influenced by cooling conditions than concrete that uses light aggregate concrete. In addition, the residual mechanical properties of concrete increase as cooling velocity lowers.
