Concrete specimens were dried in an electric thermostatic drier with forced convection at 60,85,105,120,150℃. The drying mechanism was set to continuous and intermittent drying, the variation in mass of concrete specimens was observed throughout the drying process.Compressive strength and splitting tensile strength tests were conducted after the concrete specimens were naturally cooled. The results indicate that the quantity of lost concrete moisture, drying time, and drying status are distinct for different drying conditions.With an increase in the drying temperature, the concrete compressive strength exhibited a rise after decreasing trend, but the splitting tensile strength exhibited a linear decreasing trend.At the same drying temperature, the compressive strength with intermittent drying is higher than the compressive strength with continuous drying, whereas the splitting tensile strength with intermittent drying is lower than that with continuous drying.Minimal damage to the concrete compressive strength and the splitting tensile strength with continuous drying was observed at 105°C, which also controls the condition for rational drying.
