Thermal properties of high performance fibre reinforced concrete

This diploma thesis is focused on the study of the thermal properties of high-performance fiber reinforced concrete HPFRC. The composites are based on a combination of steel and polymeric fibers. Typical properties of these materials include high mechanical strength, water resistence and salt penetration. HPFRCs are mainly used in the construction industry to build tall buildings. The differential transient method was used to study thermophysical variables. The theoretical part of the thesis described the types of concrete, their production, and their properties. Furthermore, thermophysical quantities and methods of their determination (stationary and transient methods, thermal analysis) are defined in the thesis. The aim of the thesis was to determine thermal properties, namely thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity. The results of the thesis can reveal changes in the composition of studied materials as well as critical temperatures for damaging the materials
