Behaviour Of Concrete When Exposed To Fire And Retrofitting

Abstract

Behaviour of concrete structures in fire relies upon several elements. These consist of change of material property because of fire, temperature distribution in the elements of the buildings, details of reinforcement, severity of exposure and duration. This document discusses the outcomes of increased temperatures on a some of the steel and concrete. The goal of this is to provide a top level view of results at improved temperature of the behaviour of concrete elements and systems. The main goal of this research work is to summarize the properties of concrete at rising temperature. The properties of conventional concrete and the properties of high strength concrete subjected to elevated temperature are compared.
