Investigation on the strength of expanded clay aggregate concrete specimens after thermal exposure by Danguolė Plungytė, Ričardas Plungė

“…The research revealed that the samples with fine-grained filler retained the highest strength after exposure to high temperatures, while the strength results of all other samples with coarse filler and coarse filler with fibre were low. The comparison of the results of the compressive strength of expanded clay concrete samples with coarse fillers suggests that the samples with fibre remained stronger after exposure to high temperature (600 °C) than the samples without additives. …”
