AbstractAfter being subjected to different elevated heating temperatures, ranging between 105 °C and 1200 °C, the compressive strength, flexural strength, elastic modulus and porosity of concrete reinforced with 1% steel fibre (SFRC) and changes of colour to the heated concrete have been investigated.The results show a loss of concrete strength with increased maximum heating temperature and with increased initial saturation percentage before firing. For maximum exposure temperatures below 400 °C, the loss in compressive strength was relatively small. Significant further reductions in compressive strength are observed, as maximum temperature increases, for all concretes heated to temperatures exceeding 400 °C. High performance concretes (HPC) start to suffer a greater compressive strength loss than normal strength concrete (NSC) at maximum exposure temperatures of 600 °C. It is suggested that HPC suffers both chemical decomposition and pore-structure coarsening of the hardened cement paste when C–S–H starts to decompose at this high temperature. Strengths for all mixes reached minimum values at 1000 or 1100 °C. No evidence of spalling was encountered. When steel fibres are incorporated, at 1%, an improvement of fire resistance and crack [F.M. Lea, Cement research: retrospect and prospect. Proc. 4th Int. Symp. On the Chemistry of Cement, pp. 5–8 (Washington, DC, 1960).] resistance as characterized by the residual strengths were observed. Mechanical strength results indicated that SFRC performs better than non-SFRC for maximum exposure temperatures below 1000 °C, even though the residual strength was very low for all mixes at this high temperature. The variations with colour, which occured, are associated with maximum temperatures of exposure.
