Detecting load induced thermal damage in concrete

Ordinary Portland cement based materials that are subjected to mechanical load during heating experience Load Induced Thermal Strain (LITS). LITS is known to have a significant effect on material strength and loading stiffness1 and may completely suppress thermal expansion in the loaded axes2. It ha...
