ABSTRACT

Flexural testing of fibre reinforced refractory concrete was carried out at elevated teperature on beams which had previously been heated on one face only in an electric furnace. Specimens were kept at temperature during testing in an insulating box. Toughness, LOP and peak strengths reduced with increasing temperature. Generally the performance of the wire fibre mixes was better than that of the melt exract fibre mixes, but the difference between the two reduced as temperature increased.
