Prediction of fire spalling in fibre-reinforced high strength concrete

Prediction of fire spalling in fibre-reinforced high strength concrete

This paper presents results of a study which investigates spalling in small scale specimens of fibre-reinforced high strength concrete exposed to elevated temperatures. A relationship to predict relative maximum pressures was developed, which takes into account parameters such as concrete strength,...
