description Building fires and shortage of medium sand resources have become two major issues in building domain. Desert sand was used to produce desert sand concrete (DSC), which was suitable for engineering utility. The mechanical properties tests of DSC with different desert sand replacement ratio (DSRR) were carried out after elevated temperature. The effects of elevated temperature and DSRR on DSC mechanical properties were analyzed. DSC microstructure was investigated by SEM and XRD. Research studies’ results showed that the relative compressive strength increased gradually with increasing temperature. The maximum value appeared at 200°C–300°C, and it began to decrease at 500°C. Compared with room temperature, the compressive strength at 700°C was about 70% of that at room temperature. Relative splitting tensile strength increased first and then decreased, and the value reached the maximum at 100°C. DSC relative flexural strength decreased with the temperature. Relative compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strength of DSC enhanced first and then decreased with DSRR, and the maximum values were obtained with 40% DSRR. Based on the regressive analysis, the relative compressive strength was a quadratic polynomial with relative porosity. Relative splitting tensile strength and relative flexural strength were linear with relative porosity. Research results can provide the technical support for DSC engineering application and postfire assessment.
