Testing of Action of Direct Flame on Concrete
Open accessAbstract
The paper states results of experimental exposition of concrete test specimens to direct flame. Concrete test specimens made from various mixtures differing in the type of aggregate, binder, dispersed reinforcement, and technological procedure were subjected to thermal load. Physicomechanical and other properties of all test specimens were tested before exposition to open flame: density, compressive strength, flexural strength, moisture content, and surface appearance. The specimens were visually observed during exposition to open flame and changes were recorded. Exposed surface was photographically documented before thermal load and at 10-minute intervals. Development of temperature of the specimens was documented with a thermocamera. After exposition to thermal load and cooling down, concrete specimens were visually observed, network of cracks was photographically documented, and maximal depth of spalled area was measured.

Fire resistance of plastic-concrete composites can be estimated using direct flame tests generated by a gas lamp.
“Research has shown that the fire resistance of plastic–concrete composites can be estimated using direct flame tests generated by a gas lamp [112,114].”
From Transforming Plastic Waste into Value: A Review of Management Strategies and Innovative Applications in Sustainable Construction (2025) · cites this paper as [114]
The Experimental Works section describes direct-flame tests of concrete mixtures, including specimens reinforced with polypropylene fibers, and the Conclusion calls the testing method successful. The source uses a gas burner, but it tests specific fiber-reinforced concretes rather than establishing that the method estimates fire resistance across plastic–concrete composites generally.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
