Download or read book Influence of elevated temperatures up to 100 °C on the mechanical properties of concrete written by Acosta Urrea, Fernando and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2018-08-03 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiments to characterize the effects of moisture content and temperature on the mechanical properties of concrete were conducted. Based on these experiments, a new overall material model capable of predicting the mechanical behaviour of concrete subject to elevated temperatures up to 100 °C was developed. The material model estimates the time, temperature and moisture dependency of the compressive and tensile strength, creep and shrinkage of concrete.
