Laboratory Experiments on Effects of Water Jet on Heat-Affected Concretes

Abstract:

The paper is dealing with the effects of flat high-speed water jet on concretes affected by high temperature. Research should help to correct use of water jet technology in repair works on concrete structures especially after wildfires in tunnels, underground garages, etc., which are exposed to enormous thermal stress.
