This method provides a means for predicting, by calculation, the resistance to fire of a reinforced or prestressed concrete element of construction, in accordance with 1959 French directives. The method is useful in allowing builders to design structures which show the degree of fire resistance required by the various French construction regulations in force. According to those regulations, only a test furnishes legal proof of fire resistance. French researchers hope this first step will lead to the acceptance in France of fire resistance calculations as legal proof of satisfactory resistance.

Concrete as a construction material goes through both physical and chemical changes under extreme elevated temperatures. As one of the most widely used building materials, it is important that both engineers and architects are able to understand and predict its behavior in under extreme heat conditions. Brief and readable, this book provides the tools and techniques to properly analysis the effects of high temperature of reinforced concrete which will lead to more stable, safer structures. Based on years of the author's research, Reinforced Concrete at Elevated Temperatures four part treatment starts with an unambiguous and thorough exposition of the mechanical behaviors of materials at elevated temperature followed by a discussion of Temperature field of member sections, Mechanical behaviors of members and structures at elevated temperature, ending with Theoretical analysis and practical calculation methods. The book provides unique insight into: Coupling thermal-mechanical constitutive relation of concrete Exceptional analyses of beams and columns of rectangular section with three surfaces and two adjacent surfaces exposing to high temperature Measurement and analysis of redistribution of internal forces of statically indeterminate structure during heating-loading process Finite element analysis and calculation charts for two-dimensional temperature field of structural members Finite element analysis and simplified calculation method for reinforced concrete structure at elevated temperature With this book, engineers and architects can effectively analyze the effect of high temperature on concrete and materials which will lead to better designs of fire resistant and damage evaluation and treatment after fire.

A study is presented concerning the behavior of reinforced concrete sections at elevated temperatures. Material properties of concrete and reinforcing steel are discussed. Behavior studies are made by means of moment-curvature-axial force relationships. Particular attention is given to the load carrying capacity, thermal forces and moments, and deformation capacity. The effects on these properties of variations in the strength properties, the temperature level and distribution, the amount of reinforcing steel, and limiting values of strains are considered.

In this paper, a non-linear finite element approach is used to study the bond-mechanism of steel and concrete at elevated temperatures. The paper describes the various factors governing the bond strength of steel and concrete at ambient and elevated temperatures. The model is capable to account for the reduction in the strength of concrete and steel at high temperatures. The results foam the model show good agreement with published numerical work at ambient temperature. The behaviour of the bond between concrete and steel at elevated temperatures reveal significant reduction of its bond resistance. Predicted results show that the reinforced concrete will attain a total collapse at lower stress levels at higher temperatures in comparison to condition at ambient temperature.
