“…The results showed that the induced stress is the primary factor causing thermal failure and spalling in concrete, while the pore pressure, at most, plays a secondary role. Zhao et al [69] calculated the temperature field, thermal decomposition of cement paste, vapor pressure, moisture transport, and distribution and evolution of thermal stresses in concrete through numerical simulations. It was concluded that the explosive spalling of HPC specimens under exposure to fire was mainly attributed to the temperature gradient-induced thermal stress.…”

“…Test specimens were afterwards preheated in laboratory oven at 110°C for 78 hours. By this, we remove residual free water content to prevent concrete from explosive spalling [6].…”

The paper is focused on non-destructive measurement of high temperature degraded concrete test specimens of three mixtures different by the use of coarse aggregate. Testing is done by ultrasonicpulse velocitymethod and Impact-Echo method. Non-destructive results are compared with destructive tests. Ultrasonic pulse velocity, dominant resonance frequency and acoustic impedance are discussed and compared with changes in density, cubic compressive strength, and tensile strength of concrete. The paper suggests possible assessment of degraded concrete by the change in acoustic impedance dependent on residual tensile strength.

“…It is clear that by turning to a mesoscale level, one can obtain more realistic results, especially when investigating the spalling phenomenon (see e.g. the recent works by Le [40], Zhao et al [59]). However, such approach is out of scope of the present paper.…”

a b s t r a c tA mathematical model allowing coupled hygro-thermo-mechanical analysis of spalling in concrete walls at high temperatures by means of the moving boundary problem is presented. A simplified mechanical approach to account for effects of thermal stresses and pore pressure build-up on spalling is incorporated into the model. The numerical algorithm based on finite element discretization in space and the semiimplicit method for discretization in time is presented. The validity of the developed model is carefully examined by a comparison between the experimentally determined data stated in literature and the results obtained from the numerical simulation.
