Abstract
Experimental test has figured out to investigate behavior of remaining compressive strength concrete prepared using normal and high strength grades. For the same purpose, cube-shaped and cylindrical-shaped specimens of concrete material were casted and consecutively subjected to heating and cooling condition in laboratory-controlled environment. A hold period of three hours was provided to impart heating–cooling phenomenon inside the electrical furnace at four different set of temperatures. The elevated temperatures chosen for the present compressive behavior study are 200, 400, 600 and 800 °C. Strength was also determined at ambient environment for the purpose of comparing the effects of thermal loads on behavior of strength. Significant loss in compression strength has been visualized by plotting the curves for different set of concrete mixes at various temperatures. The compositeness of concrete results as one of the main reason in controlling strength loses inculcated due to elevated temperature. The outcomes of the current experimental work are termed useful while understanding key mechanical characteristics of concrete under the effect of overburdened thermal loads.
