Effect of elevated temperature and cooling process on the tensile strength of rock

Rock is a widely existing structural material. In severe situations such as fire disasters, the mechanical properties of rocks would be greatly affected, which threaten the stability of the whole structure. On the other hand the subsequent cooling process after heating also contributes to the risks...
