Foam concrete is used in building energy-saving insulation works, to study its fire performance is very important for further enhancing the fire performance of buildings. Under simulated fire conditions, by determining the compressive strength of foam concrete at different densities, different calcination time and different water content, this experiment studies the effect of these conditions on the fire performance of foam concrete. The results show that in case of fire, the compressive strength loss rate of foam concrete increases with the decreasing of density; to calcine the foam concrete standard specimens whose density are 300kg/m3 and 800kg/m3, their strength loss rates are 66.3% and 25.5%, the compressive strength of foam concrete in the same density increases with the calcination time decreasing, water content has different effects on different densities of foam concrete in the fire security. The foam concrete is non-flammable, but its compressive strength decreases due to the fire of combustible materials and high-temperature calcination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
