The Effects of High Temperature on Structural Concrete in Navy Firefighting Training Facilities
Abstract
An investigation was completed on the effects of high operational temperatures on a Navy firefighting training facility at the Naval Training Center, Mayport, Florida. Concrete temperature measurements were made during a simulated maximum use training cycle, core samples were retrieved and examined, and predictions of concrete thermal performance were made with a finite element model. It was concluded that the concrete had not deteriorated and should perform well for years of additional service. Refractory linings are not required for new facilities if these facilities are constructed of heat resistant, high strength lightweight concrete and the walls and ceiling near the fire source are protected by a continuous steel plate barrier.
