Abstract

The boron active belite (BAB) cement is a cement type different from Portland cement due to the presence of B2O3 at 3-4%, low hydration temperature, low early strength and high final strength. In this study, concretes with three similar gradations were produced using BAB, CEM I 42.5 and CEM II 32.5 cements. Prepared cylindrical (Ø100/200 mm) concrete samples were exposed to high temperatures of 200, 400 and 600°C at the end of 7th, 28th and 90th days of standard water curing periods. Then, the compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity and Schmidt hammer strength properties of the concretes were investigated to determine their resistance to high temperatures. As a result, the compressive strength values of concrete with BAB cement were found to be higher in the final period than in concrete with normal Portland cement. Therefore, it can be said that the concretes produced with BAB cement is more durable against elevated temperatures from concretes produced with normal Portland cement. Moreover, the observed strength differences in concretes with BAB cement, were discussed in the light of current information in the literature.
