Abstract:In this paper, the influence of heating up to 400°C on properties of the self‐compacting concrete containing recycled copper slag fine aggregate was investigated. The residual mechanical properties such as compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, elastic modulus, and stress–strain curve of the heated concrete were measured with the change in the porosity of concrete. Moreover, the resistance against the penetration of chloride ions (Cl−) into the concrete after the heating was also evaluated. For obse… Show more
“…The strength of concrete with less than 40% of CS replacement for fine aggregate was higher than or equal to that of the control specimen and also RCC concrete elements have a considerable of amount of strength increased in the compressive, split tensile, flexural characteristics, and energy absorption characteristics . Wei Gong et al investigated the influence of heating up to 400°C on properties of the self compacting concrete containing recycled CS fine aggregate and reported that reduction of compressive strength is not severe when the replacement rate is less than 40% CS . Whereas the load at first crack of the beam is increased by 8.1% for FA20CS80 and ultimate load carrying capacity also higher than the control concrete beams.…”

This paper presents the fresh and hardened concrete properties with fly ash (FA) and copper slag (CS). M30 grade of concrete has been designed with a constant water–cement ratio as 0.4. Twenty four concrete mixtures are arrived by cement is partially replaced by FA from 0 to 30% with 10% increment and natural sand is replaced by CS from 0 to 100% at 20% increment. The compressive strength of the concrete was verified at 3, 7, 14, 28, 56, and 90 days curing periods. Five reinforced concrete (RC) beams of size 150 mm × 250 mm × 3200 mm were cast based on the optimum mix proportion and flexural behavior of RC beams was monitored by a four‐point bending test. From the experimental results, compressive strength, and flexural strength were increased for concrete with 30% FA and 80% of CS because the smaller surface area of CS per unit volume is exposed with a large quantity of concrete matrix and workability of concrete also increased.

“…Behavior of NWSCC is represented in Figure 31 [ 75 , 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 , 105 ]; the wide variety of the results is a consequence of the difference in the constituents used in the making of the SCC samples. NWSCC seems to show an increase in residual compressive strength mostly between 200 °C and 400 °C.…”
Section: Response Of Different Concrete Types Exposed To Elevated Tem...mentioning
Concrete is a heterogeneous material that consists of cement, aggregates, and water as basic constituents. Several cementitious materials and additives are added with different volumetric ratios to improve the strength and durability requirements of concrete. Consequently, performance of concrete when exposed to elevated temperature is greatly affected by the concrete type. Moreover, post-fire properties of concrete are influenced by the constituents of each concrete type. Heating rate, days of curing, type of curing, cooling method, and constituents of the mix are some of the factors that impact the post-fire behavior of concrete structures. In this paper, an extensive review was conducted and focused on the effect of concrete constituents on the overall behavior of concrete when exposed to elevated temperature. It was evident that utilizing fibers can improve the tensile capacity of concrete after exposure to higher temperatures. However, there is an increased risk of spalling due to the induced internal stresses. In addition, supplementary cementitious materials such as metakaolin and silica fume enhanced concrete strength, the latter proving to be the most effective. In terms of the heating process, it was clear that several constituents, such as silica fume or fly ash, that decrease absorption affect overall workability, increase the compressive strength of concrete, and can yield an increase in the strength of concrete at 200 °C. Most of the concrete types show a moderate and steady decrease in the strength up until 400 °C. However, the decrease is more rapid until the concrete reaches 800 °C or 1000 °C at which it spalls or cannot take any applied load. This review highlighted the need for more research and codes’ provisions to account for different types of concrete constituents and advanced construction materials technology.
“…For the damage identification of reinforced concrete (RC) structures at room temperature, researchers have conducted various theoretical analysis and experimental studies 3,4 . However, the identification of structural damages and material properties under high temperatures is relatively limited 5–7 . Seyed and Mohammad 5 used the natural frequency as input data to a support vector machine (SVM) and beam‐column connection damage characteristics as the SVM output data to detect frame node damages.…”
Summary
To determine the degree of fire damage in reinforced concrete (RC) T‐beams, a damage identification method based on an improved support vector machine and firefly algorithm (FA‐SVM) is proposed herein. First, based on the fire test of 10 simply supported beams, a refined finite element model of simply supported T‐beams was established. A modal analysis of the simply supported beams was performed to obtain a sample library of the input and output parameters for the FA‐SVM identification network. Subsequently, the trained FA‐SVM identification network was used to predict the fire exposure duration of the samples. The sectional temperature during the fire exposure duration could be calculated by using the finite element model, and the bending stiffness and bending capacity of the simply supported beams after exposure to the fire were calculated. The test sample results were similar to the experimental results of the simply supported beams exposed to fire for 60, 90, and 120 min, which demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. Finally, a three‐step method for fire damage identification suitable for RC continuous beams was developed based on the FA‐SVM identification network. An example calculation analysis of three‐span continuous beams was performed, and the results demonstrated accuracy of the identification results. The identification sample magnitude was significantly reduced using this method, which can be conveniently used in practical engineering applications.
