INFLUENCE OF HEATING ON THE VARIOUS STRENGTH PROPERTIES OF ALC PANEL: Part 2 Bending strength of various thicknesses of ALC panel after heating

From the standpoint of the maintenance of ALC-buildings and management, the ability of ALC panel to be reused after being subjected to fire is likely to become an important issue. In the research described here, the bending strength of ALC panel of various thicknesses after heating was studied. As a result, the rate that the bend increases by the influence of heating is calculated from the experiment value compared with non-heating panel, and it proposes the expression that calculates the increase ratio of the bend from the relation between the heating time or heating change depth of tobermorite of ALC and the panel thickness after heating.
