BASIC MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF NORMAL AND HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE AT LOW TEMPERATURE.

Summary

THE PAPER SUMMARISES THE RESULTS OF A SERIES OF LABORATORY STUDIES ON SELECTED MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF NORMAL AND HIGH-STRENGTH CONCRETE IN THE TEMPERATURE RANGE OF 293 TO 203 K (20 TO -70 DEG C). TEST RESULTS SHOW THAT CONCRETE COMPRESSIVE, LOCAL BOND, AND SPLITTING TENSILE STRENGTH, YOUNG'S MODULES, AND POISSON'S RATIO INCREASE AS THE TEMPERATURE DECREASES AND THE RATE OF INCREASE FOR HIGH-STRENGTH CONCRETE AT DIFFERENT CORRESPONDING LOW TEMPERATURE IS GENERALLY LOWER THAN THAT FOR NORMAL STRENGTH CONCRETE.
