Abstract:Disasters due to fire accidents have become frequent resulting in concrete subjected to high temperatures leading to severe loss of life and property. The usage of High Strength Concrete (HSC) as a structural material has led to the demand to understand the effects of fire on concrete. This paper is aimed at understanding the properties of both HSC and normal strength concrete (NSC) at high temperatures. The experimental work mainly focuses on physical & mechanical properties of M20 grade NSC and M60 Grade… Show more
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.
