Thermal properties have a fundamental influence on the behaviour of building materials during fire exposure as heat penetration governs the degradation of the mechanical properties and in a larger perspective the performance of the whole member or structure. The most cited set of effective thermal properties for concrete is found in the Eurocode. However, these are effective thermal properties meaning that they are not fundamental properties as they implicitly include effects of moisture transport and are fitted to give the best possible match between experimental data and calculations. This chapter gives a more detailed picture of the influences on thermal properties from different factors with the main focus on high performance concrete.

Abstract
Thermal properties have a fundamental influence on the behaviour of building materials during fire exposure as heat penetration governs the degradation of the mechanical properties and in a larger perspective the performance of the whole member or structure. The most cited set of effective thermal properties for concrete is found in the Eurocode. However, these are effective thermal properties meaning that they are not fundamental properties as they implicitly include effects of moisture transport and are fitted to give the best possible match between experimental data and calculations. This chapter gives a more detailed picture of the influences on thermal properties from different factors with the main focus on high performance concrete.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
