This paper presents an experimental investigation of the effect of temperature and thermal shock on the physical and mechanical properties of concrete (M25) incorporating electronic waste (Ewaste). The concrete mixtures were prepared using 10, 20, 30, 40, 50% of Ewaste plastic [high impact polystyrene (HIPS)] as a partial replacement per unit volume of coarse aggregate.
Concrete was mixed at temperatures of 18 and 35°C (65 and 95°F). Two series of mixtures were proportioned to produce strengths of 28 to 31 MPa (4000 to 4500 psi) and 34 to 38 MPa (5000 to 5500 psi), utilizing three different material combinations: cement without admixture, cement plus water reducer, and cement plus fly ash.
· Temperatures above °C (°F) are considered to be a high fever, and very high fever is defined as any temperature above 41°C (°F). A temperature between °C and 38°C is an elevated body temperature. The regulation of body temperature doesn't always work perfectly in younger children.
For most concrete structures, the curing period at temperatures above 5º C (40º F) should be a minimum of 7 days or until 70% of the specified compressive or flexural strength is attained. The period can be reduced to 3 days if high early strength concrete is used .
🕑 Reading time: 1 minute The temperature of fresh concrete can be determined as per ASTM C1064 to ensure the concrete's conformity with standard temperature specifiions. The method employs a calibrated thermometer to test the concrete temperature. The temperature of the concrete affects the way it cures, and the finalstrength gain. Hence, it is necessary [.]
At temperatures in the range of 400 to 800 C (752 to 1472 F), the compressive strength of concrete decreased to about 30 percent of its strength at room temperature. The exposure to high ...
The effects of elevated temperature on highstrength concrete materials are noted and their performance compared to normal strength concretes. A review of concrete materials for elevatedtemperature service is presented. Nuclear power plant and general civil engineering design codes are described. Design considerations and analytical techniques ...
· High temperatures also affect the compressive strength of concrete. Above 212º F, the cement paste begins to dehydrate (loses chemically combined water of hydration), which gradually weakens the paste and pasteaggregate bond. The temperature that concrete has reached often can be determined by observing color changes in the aggregate.
· The Ideal Temperature for Pouring Concrete. In order to avoid these issues, it's advised to pour concrete at a temperature between 50 to 60°F. Temperatures below 50°F will begin to slow the curing process, and the water in the cement is at risk of freezing at temperatures below 40°F. If the temperature is higher than 60°F, the water can ...
· Increased temperatures affect increasing initial power while reducing strength in the long term. Temperature variations can have effects on different properties of concrete. Early high temperatures affect the later strength of concrete, as this increases the hydration and leads to a nonuniform distribution of the products of hydration.
· High temperature mechanical property data are needed for evaluating fire resistance of structural members. Being a relatively new construction material, there is a lack of temperaturedependent mechanical property data on ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC).
elevated temperatures on the behavior of concrete. Emphasis is placed on quantifying the degree of potential degradation of the physical properties of concrete in highlevel waste storage tanks. The temperature elevation range of interest is from ambient to 315°C (600°F). The literature has been reviewed to examine the

HighStrength Concrete at High Temperature – An Overview 4 °C/min or 300 °C/h. It is noted that the concrete temperature lags the air temperature of the furnace. Figure 3 (b) shows the temperature difference between the surface and center of the cylinder, and the rates of temperature rise on the surface and at the center of the cylinder.
· If the concrete surface is a pool deck, backyard patio or theme park, it's a nobrainer that heat will cause discomfort for anyone who walks around barefoot. "There are three primary areas of concern when it comes to concrete temperature," says Chris Sullivan, vice president of sales and marketing for manufacturer ChemSystems Inc.
· Synopsis. This paper deals with the bond strength of steel and concrete at high temperatures because, although bond strength is of major importance in the determination of the behaviour of concrete structures in fire, there is no detailed information available on this problem.
· A threedimensional finite element model was developed to predict temperatures in a mass concrete footing–soil system and to assess cracking potential of the concrete at early age. Two bridge pier footings constructed in Florida were monitored for temperature development, and the measured temperatures were compared with the computed temperatures from the finite element model.
The temperature of the concrete as placed should be above 40 degrees Fahrenheit using methods described above, however the duration of heating is dependent on the type of service for the concrete, ranging from one day for highearly strength concrete that is not exposed to freezethaw events during service to 20 days or more for a concrete element that would carry large loads at an early age.
· Effect of Temperature on Concrete. Similar to other materials, cone expands with increase in temperature and contract with decrease in temperature. The range of variation in temperature varies from localities to localities, season to season and day to day. The objectionable cracks may occur in cone due to contraction combined with the effect of ...
Concrete does a very good job of reflecting solar energy. That is the finding from a Portland Cement Association (PCA) study which measured the solar reflectance index (SRI) of 45 concrete mixes. Lighter colored materials (such as concrete) generally have a higher solar reflectance. They reflect heat from the sun and do not warm the air very much.
· Changing temperatures highlight management questions. For example, a 2012 marine heatwave in the northwest Atlantic pushed commercial species such .
Cold weather concrete can be classified as a period of more than three days where some specific conditions occur under certain temperatures. The American Concrete Institute under ACI 306 defines that concrete will be exposed to cold weather "when the air temperature has fallen to, or is expected to fall, below 40°F (5°C) during the protection period.

My study examined analyzed the surface temperatures of impervious, pervious, and natural ground materials and their association to ambient air temperatures in the urban microclimate.
