Mechanisms and relationships of strength changes of concretes relating to its temperature-moisture state

The paper presents a generalised interpretation of the mechanism of the interconnection of the concrete strength characteristics with the temperature and moisture conditions. It contains the results of the study which allow revealing the relationships between the parameters of the composition and structure of high-strength modified concrete relating and the variations of their strength characteristics in dry and water-saturated conditions with the temperature ranging between – 60 and + 600C.

Key words: high performance concrete, temperature, moisture, strength, Rebinder effect.
