Description
The exact knowledge of thermophysical properties of high-performance concrete for nuclear-safety related structures in wide temperature and moisture ranges is for realistic modeling of possible accidents in nuclear power plants of particular importance. In this paper, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and linear thermal expansion coefficient of concrete from the French nuclear power plant Penly are determined in the temperature range from 20 C to 200 C, specific heat for -30 C to 1,000 C, moisture diffusivity from 0 to 75% of maximum water saturation at room temperature, and water vapor diffusivity at room temperature. Comparison of measured results with the measurements of other authors for concretes with similar composition shows a reasonable agreement for most parameters
