The effect of temperature on the compressive strength of concrete
Abstract
Summary As part of an investigation on the effect of temperature on the crushing strength of concrete, tests have been carried out using 2 in. diameter by 4 in. long specimens made with ordinary Portland cement, river sand and gravel aggregate, having various mix proportions and water/cement ratios. The crushing strength of concrete at temperatures up to 600°C was independent of the water/cement ratio used but was influenced by the aggregate/cement ratio. Concrete specimens loaded to produce normal design compressive stress during the period of heating showed less reduction in strength than specimens without imposed load. There was afurther loss in the compressive strength of the specimens when cooled after heating to a given temperature.

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.
