Compressive strength of self compacting concrete under elevated temperature

Abstract

Concrete is an unsynthesized blend possessed of fine and coarse aggregate bounded in sync by runny cement. Advancement of self-compacting is considered as one of the well-received developments in construction industry. Self-compacting concrete is cohesive enough so that it can be placed without compaction. It facilitates proper filling of complex formworks and provides good structural performance when reinforced. However concrete is prostrate to harm when introduced to proportionately high temperature to that of room temperature. In this study, controlled curing is opted. This study involves study of compressive strength of self compacting concrete under elevated temperatures. After 28 days of curing, the specimen are kept at 200 °C, 400 °C, 600 °C, 800 °C temperatures for two hours. The compressive resilient of self compacting concrete specimens is studied under these elevated temperature.
