Abstract: To overcome the insufficient research on the mechanical properties of concrete and the interfacial bonding characteristics between concrete and rock under elevated curing temperatures, a novel testing device for measuring the bond strength of concrete-rock interface was proposed to improve the accuracy and reliability of bonding tests. Subsequently, a hightemperature curing chamber was used to simulate geothermal environments with curing temperatures of 20 °C, 30 °C, 40 °C, and 50 °C. The basic physical properties, strength characteristics, and interfacial bond strength of concrete were experimentally investigated, and the strength development of concrete was analyzed using several predictive models. Results show that the early compressive strength of concrete increases with increasing curing temperature, whereas the 28-d compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, and elastic modulus decrease. Among the four strength prediction models considered in this study, the equivalent age model, which simultaneously accounts for curing temperature and curing age, achieves the highest fitting accuracy. In contrast with the strength variation of concrete, bond strength at the concrete-rock interface initially increases and then decreases with increasing curing temperature, reaching its maximum value at 40 °C. The findings of this study provide a useful reference for the design and performance evaluation of concrete support structures in high geothermal tunnel engineering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
