The paper presents a critical review of the currently available models for the mechanical
behaviour of concrete at elevated temperatures. Based on these models and experimental …

The literature on concrete creep and shrinkage is vast and scattered over many media. A
host of books have already been devoted to this subject. Some are valuable compilations of …

Extensive research has been carried out over the past four decades on the behaviour of
mechanically loaded concrete under transient thermal conditions. The purpose of this paper …

Designing structures to withstand the effects of fire is challenging, and requires a series of
complex design decisions. This third edition of Fire Safety Engineering Design of Structures …

This paper presents an approach for assessing the residual capacity of fire exposed
reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The approach involves capturing response of RC beams in …

The current version of the European standard for concrete structures gives tabulated data for
the evolution of the mechanical properties of normal strength concrete subjected to elevated …

This paper presents the effect of temperature on the compressive and tensile properties of
reactive powder concrete (RPC). The influence of temperature, steel fibre content, hold time …

This paper reports the results of an experimental and analytical study to investigate the
mechanical properties of unstressed foamed concrete exposed to high temperatures. Two …

A general stress–strain relationship for concrete when subjected to fire is needed, as it
allows designing concrete structures to specific fire-performance criteria and improves the …

Cement concrete is widely used as structural material in building construction where fire
resistance is one of the key considerations in design. High temperature is well known for …
