Thermo-physical properties and transient heat transfer of concrete at elevated temperatures

摘要

The objective of this study is to produce our own experimental data of physical properties of domestic concrete used in Korean NPPs, and to study on the thermal behavior of concrete exposed to high temperature conditions. The compressive strength and chemical composition of the concrete used in the Yonggwang NPP units 3 and 4 were analyzed. The chemical composition of Korean concrete is similar to that of US basaltic concrete. The thermal properties of the concrete, such as density, conductivity, diffusivity, and specific heat were also measured with a wide temperature range of 20-1100 deg. C.
