High Temperature Effect on The Strength of Sand-Cement Plaster

Abstract

One of the main physical effects leading to durability problems in buildings is high temperature. This effect can cause permanent damage to structures, resulting in loss of service, life and property. Sand-cement plaster is used extensively in building work as a decorative or protective coating for concrete and.masonry walls. One of the important tasks of the sand-cement plaster is to protect the building elements against the high temperature which is the result of the fire. The determination of the degree of the influence of high temperatures on the sand-cement plaster is important in this respect. In this study, commonly used sand cement plaster material is used. The impact ratings of the plaster samples exposed to different temperatures were tried to be determined by measuring ultrasonic sound transmission values and flexural strengths
