Fracture energy of high-performance concrete at high temperatures up to 450°C: the effects of heating temperatures and testing conditions (hot and cold). (2006)
Journal Article
Zhang, B., & Bicanic, N. (2006). Fracture energy of high-performance concrete at high temperatures up to 450°C: the effects of heating temperatures and testing conditions (hot and cold). Magazine of Concrete Research, 58(5), 277-288. https://doi.org/10.1680/macr.2006.58.5.277

The fracture energy of high-performance concrete (HPC) with a compressive strength of 67·1 MPa was studied by conducting three-point bending tests on eighty notched beams of 500 × 100 × 100 mm at high temperatures up to 450°C (hot) and in cooled-down...

Residual fracture toughness of normal- and high-strength gravel concrete after heating to 600°C. (2002)
Journal Article
Zhang, B., & Bicanic, N. (2002). Residual fracture toughness of normal- and high-strength gravel concrete after heating to 600°C. Materials Journal, 99, 217-226

Fracture toughness represents the resistance of concrete to cracking and fracture, and is significantly influenced by heating scenarios such as heating temperature and exposure time. In this paper, two parameters—the classic fracture toughness and th... Read More about Residual fracture toughness of normal- and high-strength gravel concrete after heating to 600°C..

Relationship between brittleness and moisture loss of concrete exposed to high temperatures. (2002)
Journal Article
Zhang, B., Bicanic, N., Pearce, C. J., & Phillips, D. V. (2002). Relationship between brittleness and moisture loss of concrete exposed to high temperatures. Cement and Concrete Research, 32(3), 363-371. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0008-8846%2801%2900684-6

The effect of moisture loss at high temperatures on the brittleness of concrete was investigated by conducting three-point bending tests on preheated notched beams. The relationships of moisture loss represented by mass loss with heating temperature... Read More about Relationship between brittleness and moisture loss of concrete exposed to high temperatures..
