| Popis: | A study was directed to analyze the influence of the different types of Ordinary Portland Cements (OPC) on the hardened cement paste exposed to high temperatures. Hardened cement paste specimens with three types of cement and nine water-cement ratios were investigated and heated to 11 heat steps at 28 days of age. Residual compressive strength and relative residual compressive strength were compared to the unheated results. It was shown that the expected range for the relative residual strength of the different types of OPC up to 400 °C is between 90 and 100%. From the local minimum at 150 °C to the maximum at 300 °C. The CEM I 52.5 type of cement shows the least favorable behavior to the increased (over 400 °C) temperature, according to the results of the residual compressive strengths curves and the newly introduced Integrated Temperature Endurance values after the first water-cement ratio (0.3). Nine water-cement ratios were tested with the favorable types of OPC (CEM I 42.5 and CEM I 32.5). At all water-cement ratios, the residual strength tendencies for the two types of cement were parallel. It has been observed that changes in the water-cement ratio have little to no impact on the relative strength curve's shape or the relationship between strength and the water cement ratio. As a result of our experiments applying simply Ordinary Portland Cement, it is obvious that the CEM I 32.5 type of OPC cement significantly outperformed the CEM I 42.5 type in regards of post-heating strength tendencies. |
