The strength and durability performance of concretes incorporating 0–40% of finely ground pumice as cement replacement (by mass) subjected to high temperatures up to 800°C is described. The strength properties were assessed by unstressed residual compressive strength, while durability was investigated by crack pattern observations, the rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT), mercury intrusion porosimetry, microhardness testing, and differential scanning calorimetry. The results of RCPT revealed that concrete durability deterioration commences at temperatures that are lower than those at which compressive strength deterioration commences. Such a loss of durability can be explained by a weakened interfacial transition zone between the hardened cement paste (hcp) and aggregate and by the concurrent coarsening of the hcp pore structure. When pumice is included, an improvement of fire resistance was observed, as characterized by the higher residual compressive strength and improved durability. Pumice concrete...
