A cold model test was made to simulate a crack behavior of cylindrical refractory structure. In the test, high-alumina (Al
20
3 90%) rectangular prism bricks were used. Strain was induced by mechanical loading. Srain state was simulated to that of bricks in a cylindrical furnace in which thermal expansion of refractories are constrained by shell.
Y-directional strain state which was given to the bricks partially and varied linearly (maximum value;ε
>yo)corresponded to circumferential strain state of bricks of the furnace, and y-directional partial loading resulted in the tensile strain in x-direction (maximum value; ε
xm) which corresponded to radial strainof bricks of the furnace.
Also, three point bending test of square section bar and compressive test of cylinder were carried outto get tensile critical strain (ε
bt) and compressive one (ε
bc).
Results are summarized as follows:
1. Cracks may be caused by ε
yo and ε
xm.
2. Critical strain to cause cracks in cold model test, has good correlation with E ε
bt or ε
bc
