Thermal Emission analysis to predict damage in specimens of High Strength Concrete

Filippo Cucinotta, Antonino D'Aveni, Eugenio Guglielmino, Antonino Risitano, Giacomo Risitano, Dario Santonocito

In this paper thermal analysis was applied to determine the “Critical Stress” of concrete, different from its ultimate strength, able to produce the first damage in the structures under compressive loads. The Critical Stress can be thought…
