Infos

Fire Behaviour and the Residual Mechanical Properties of Structural Concrete helps readers understand these processes, enabling engineers and researchers to develop effective fire protection measures and design guidelines for concrete structures. Studying the behavior of concrete under fire is crucial for understanding the performance and safety of concrete structures in fire conditions. Concrete is widely used in the construction industry due to its strength, durability, and fire resistance properties. However, even though concrete is inherently fire-resistant, it can still be affected by high temperatures.When concrete is exposed to fire, several physical and chemical processes take place that can lead to its deterioration and eventual failure. This book helps readers understand these processes, enabling engineers and researchers to develop effective fire protection measures and design guidelines for concrete structures. - Provides a comprehensive understanding of the behavior of concrete structures under fire conditions, exploring the thermal, mechanical, and chemical responses of concrete to fire and helping readers understand the fundamental principles and mechanisms involved- Equips engineers, architects, and fire safety professionals with the knowledge necessary to enhance the fire safety of concrete structures- Explores the influence of different cement types, aggregates, admixtures, and mix proportions necessary for the fire performance of concrete
