Mechanical Properties of Four High-Performance Concretes in Compression at High Temperatures

ABSTRACT Experimental results of the high-temperature behaviour of 4 High-Performance Concretes are presented. The main properties needed for design are synthesised; this relates to the evolution of compressive strength and Young's modulus versus temperature. The phenomenon of transient creep at high temperature is also presented. Experimental data and a master curve usable for design are developed.
