Use of X-ray CT for analysis of concretes exposed to high temperatures
Original language description
Concrete has many advantageous properties, e.g. inflammability or low temperature conductivity. However, when a concrete construction is exposed to high temperatures, it loses its load-bearing capacity, especially in surface layers which are loaded at most. A serious problem represents the so-called explosive spalling which is caused by the combination of increasing pressure in inner pores and inner compressive stresses originating from material expansion at higher temperatures. Spalling of a concrete layer leads to weakening of the concrete cross section of a reinforced construction and, in some cases, to exposure of steel reinforcement to temperatures above the critical level. Defects can be so serious that the complete construction gets destroyed. Design of a concrete mixture with resistance to thermal exposure for a certain period of time has been classified among the passive fire protection methods. Basic composition of the cement concrete can be problematic, as it is the composit
