Abstract:

The traditional methods for assessing the fire damaged concrete structures require large amount of experimental efforts， and some other new technologies are expensive and their applicability still needs further investigation. In view of this， a colorimetric method based on the optical analysis is proposed to evaluate the heating damage of the concrete in terms of the translation of the color coordinates in the chromaticity diagram. Fire damage experiment was first conducted on the C30 concrete cubes. And then photos were taken under the conditions of daylight vs. fluorescent and manual white balance vs. auto white balance. The chromaticity diagram is constructed to represent the relationship between the coordinates of the concrete colors and the maximum temperature that the concrete was subject to. The maximum temperature that the concrete experienced can thus be determined based on concrete color. The conditions under the daylight and the manual white balance are recommended to take photos for constructing chromaticity diagram. The results of this study will advance the technology for assessing fire-damaged concrete.

Key words: concrete color, chromaticity diagram, colorimetry method, fire-damage, RBG value
