Abstract:To study the mechanical properties of Coral Seawater Sea Sand Concrete (CSSC) after exposure to high temperatures, axial compression and static compression elastic modulus tests were conducted on 30 CSSC specimens at room and high temperatures. The axial compression failure patterns and apparent changes of the specimens after exposure to high temperatures were observed, and parameters such as the complete stress-strain behavior under axial compression, elastic modulus, and weight loss rate were obtained. In conjunction with an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms of microstructural changes in CSSC after exposure to high temperatures, the study explored the influence of fire temperature on CSSC's mechanical properties and revealed the degradation mechanism of these properties after high-temperature exposure. The results demonstrated a progressive decline in the mechanical properties of CSSC as the fire temperature increased. At 200 ℃ , compared to specimens at room temperature, the axial compressive strength and elastic modulus of CSSC decreased by 26.52% and 6.19%, respectively, indicating good mechanical properties. At 400 ℃ , the elastic modulus of CSSC decreased rapidly, with a loss of 65.48%, but its axial compressive strength increased by 6.4% compared to specimens at 200 ℃. At 600 ℃, the axial compressive strength of CSSC exhibited a rapid decline, with a strength loss rate of 66.74%. The CSSC was severely damaged at 800 ℃ , making it impossible to measure its effective elastic modulus.
