Abstract

The article investigates the destruction of heat-resistant chamotte concrete of various classes: low-cement and medium-cement with the addition of quartz sand (to increase alkaline resistance) and with the addition of metal fiber (to reduce cracking) after exposure to thermal shock. Two methods for determining the heat resistance of concrete were used, in which the destruction of the material was evaluated using ultrasound using the method of a water-cooled plate and the method of one-sided heating-cooling. Studies conducted using the method of unilateral heating-cooling, revealed the formation of macrocracks in samples of low cement concrete. This method turned out to be more sensitive when evaluating concrete destruction.
