Abstract: | The fracture toughness of ordinary and refractory concretes in the range of 20–1300 C was investigated, and the stress intensity factor, K
Ic, on three-point bent specimens (according to ASTM E-399 recommendation) determined. With an increase in testing temperature, the stress intensity factor decreases for both concretes. The values of K
Ic at 20 C for both concretes are comparable, being equal to 0.64 MNm–3/2 for ordinary concrete, and 0.72 MNm–3/2 for refractory concrete, respectively. At 1100 C, K
Ic has a value of 0.043 MNm–3/2 for ordinary concrete, and for the refractory concrete at 1300 C, K
Ic=0.34 MNm–3/2. The method presented for predicting the behaviour of concrete at high temperature may be used in engineering practice. |
