The Committee has defined two types of screening tests for characterization of concrete propensity to fire spalling: Material screening tests and Product screening tests. Definitions of both types of tests are given in the paper. The following recommendations apply to Material screening tests. The material screening tests described in these recommendations are a set of minimum requirements to test concrete spalling propensity (for example, the minimal specimen size). This document covers the aspects of concrete characterization, specimen geometries, storage conditions, test methods and measured parameters.

Common storage tanks build with concrete are designed to endure temperatures up to 90 °C. To increase the energy efficiency however, modern tanks need to withstand temperatures above 100 °C. With increasing temperature and correlating water vapor pressures, the cement must meet new requirements. Thermodynamic modelling is a promising tool for predicting the phase stabilities of minerals in the cement within these temperature and pressure ranges (T/P). Thus, mixture designs can be investigated and optimized with regard to the expected mineral phases in selected T/P-ranges. Additionally, predictions of the long-term material behavior can be derived from thermodynamic data and subsequently the experimental effort can be reduced notably. On the other hand, validation of predictions is needed. The base for the thermodynamic model is a thermodynamic equilibrium and thus, the experimental data for validation should approach the presumed conditions of the equilibrium. This study investigates variable experimental conditions for the hydration of Portland cement at 100 °C to reach a sufficiently progressed development of the phase composition. In case of Portland cement, the highest degree of hydration achievable within a reasonable time span is the most significant parameter. Therefore, Portland cement pastes with w/c ratios from 0.4 to 0.6 and dwell times up to three weeks were examined with powder X-ray diffraction to identify mineral phase changes. At 100 °C and high humidity, Portland cement paste shows the expected mineral phases like portlandite, katoite, and remaining clinker phases. The cement pastes with high water content and long dwell time seem to have the highest degree of hydration, even though the AFm phases stabilize with increasing w/c ratio. A dwell time of two weeks and a w/c ratio of 0.5 was found to provide the mineral composition with the highest degree of hydration including the major phase transitions.

To guarantee the long-term water vapour tightness of the system, the permeability of two UHPC mixtures were tested after long-term cyclic autoclaving. As UPHC shows a high density and therefore low permeability, measurements after the RILEM-Recommendation (TC 116-PCD) reached their detection limit. Therefore, the measurement set-up was adapted to measure the permeability of highly dense UHPC more reliably and quickly. This adaption includes measurements in a higher pres-sure range, the change of sample size thickness and the usage of Ar as a medium compared with the RILEM Recommendation. Additionally, the system was equipped with two pressure sensors and Ar-flowmeters to guarantee a continuous record of the experimental parameters. The new system was tested and evaluated by comparing measurements with the RILEM recommended system. Preliminary results show that the adapted system is capable to provide efficient and reliable results of concrete with low permeability.
