This paper presents the results of the differential thermal analysis of cement matrix samples taken from concrete panels with nominal dimensions of 2300 × 1300 × 150 mm after one-sided exposure to high temperatures. The panels were subjected to maximum nominal temperature loads of 550, 600, 800 and 1000 °C. Concrete was also taken from a reference panel (without temperature loading) and investigated. Five samples with a nominal thickness of 20 mm were taken for thermal analysis. They were cut from the central part of the panels using a diamond blade saw. The thermal analysis covered the effects of temperature load on the concrete to a depth of approximately 100 mm from the heated surface of the panel.
