Abstract

In this paper, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mechanical tests of rock and concrete after exposure to different high-temperature conditions have been conducted in the laboratory. The results indicate that the mass of the concrete-rock composite (CRC) samples has different degrees of loss after high-temperature treatment. The porosity and NMR signal intensity of CRC after exposure to high-temperature increase with the temperature. The uniaxial compressive strength of CRC is weakened inordinately after being exposed to high temperatures from 100 to 700°C. Furthermore, with the increase in temperature, the pores become larger, and even part of the micropores expand to form cracks. Finally, high temperature has great influence on the bonding property of CRC after high-temperature treatment. In summary, our new findings are helpful in understanding the thermal damage degradation effect of CRC used in the energy and engineering field under high-temperature environments.
