B.io analysis of pore pressure, thermal stress and fracture in rapidly heated concrete... It is argued that the main driving force of the explosive thermal spalling must be the release of the stored energy due to the thermal stresses, which requires fracture mechanics....
Experimental research on high temperature resistance of modified lightweight concrete after exposure to elevated temperatures... The results indicated that the modified lightweight concrete specimens have exhibited superior mechanical properties and resistance to thermal spalling after exposure to elevated temperatures
Thermal evolution of al2o3-mgo-c refractories ...refractory bricks (AMC) are widely used for steelmaking vessel working linings due to their excellent properties: high temperature mechanical strength and high resistances to both thermal spalling and slag corrosion....
Exposure of high performance concretes at elevated temperature: residual mechanical properties and thermal spalling... The concrete designer has to limit the risk of thermal spalling of concretes when potentially exposed at elevated temperature....
