The degradation of concrete exposed to high temperature was evaluated by applying ultrasonic pulse velocity evaluation method which is one of the nondestructive tests of concrete. As a result, it is difficult to distinguish compressive strength of concrete and estimate residual compressive strength of concrete. However, it was confirmed that the higher the heating temperature, the lower the compressive strength and ultrasonic velocity of the concrete.
Concrete has been recognized as a material which is resistant to the high temperature, but chemicophysical property of concrete is changed by the high temperature. So, mechanical properties of concrete may be reduced. Therefore, concrete is evaluated mechanical properties for safety inspection. However, research of ultrasonic pulse method is not much. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to Non-Destructive Test of 30, 70, 110MPa concrete exposed high temperature using ultrasonic pulse velocity.

Recycled aggregate is not used the structures due to the negative perception of the quality. Using only recycled aggregate concrete structures to improve these recognition were constructed to evaluate the mechanical properties and durability. The result is determined to be applicable to 100% recycled aggregate concrete in the structure.
