Effect of Heat on Concrete

Effect of Heat on Concrete presents an authoritative review of the properties and behaviour of concrete at high temperatures, from ambient up to melting. The author provides a thorough assessment of the materials aspects of concrete behaviour under four main themes: * Microstructure * Properties * Moisture migration * Applications. This book condenses a mass of data and published information in order to be readily accessible for researchers and for engineers responsible for the design and construction of concrete structures where the temperature regime may lead to significant differences in performance from that at ambient temperatures.
