SCC was used in the compression zone while NSC was overlaid in the tensile zone. The resulting systems were exposed to high temperatures ranging from 23 to 800 °C. Two types of cooling regimes have been considered i.e. water and air cooling. The primary objective of the study was to analyze the interfacial bond deterioration and the variation in mechanical strength. Test results indicated that the mechanical strength and mass decreases with rise in exposure temperature. The interface remained intact without excessive damage. Further, the thermal shock experienced during the water cooling negatively impacts the composite system.
