The specimens (780 mm [30.71 in.] x 360 mm [14.17 in.]) were made with three different thicknesses (100 mm [3.94 in.], 200 mm [7.87 in.] and 400 mm [15.75 in.]). Specimens were tested at an age of six months when the strengths were about 75 MPa (10,877 psi). The specimens were exposed to the hydrocarbon fire on one side. Explosive spalling only occurred in the 400 mm (15.75 in.) AAS concrete specimen that had a lower moisture content and higher permeability than the OPC and OPC/slag concretes. This suggests that the well-renowned moisture clog theory is unlikely to be a predominant mechanism of spalling in AAS concrete.

In Part 1-2 of Eurocode 11, general design aspects of structures exposed to fire are given as well as specific load combinations, design values of thermal and mechanical material properties, fire models, and heat transfer models. Most of these design principles are applicable to all types of construction materials. In Part 1-2 of Eurocode 22, specific approaches related to concrete structures are given, i.e., models giving the influence of high temperatures on material characteristics, a method based on tabulated values, simplified verification methods, and the basic principles of advanced calculation methods. In this paper, a review is presented of the most relevant clauses of the mentioned documents. For practical applications, the complete documents should be consulted.","PeriodicalId":309489,"journal":{"name":"SP-255: Designing Concrete Structures for Fire Safety","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127654258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nadjai","doi":"10.14359/20225","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14359/20225","url":null,"abstract":"One of the new techniques to reduce explosive spalling in concrete subjected to fire is to add a cocktail of polypropylene fibers and steel fibers into the concrete mixture. This method is still in the early stages of development and requires more research to investigate the efficiency of introducing such a combination of fibers in reducing explosive spalling in fire. The purpose of this paper is to present the results of an experimental study conducted to investigate the performance of reinforced concrete columns containing steel and polypropylene fibers under different loadings and subjected to severe fire conditions. Two loading levels were investigated representing 0.6 and 0.76 of the ultimate strength limits of ACI 318. Columns containing polypropylene (1 kg/m3) and steel fibers (80kg/m3) showed a higher fire resistance by an average factor of 1.76 compared to columns containing PP fibers (1 kg/m3) only. The paper also assesses the effect of adding steel and polypropylene fibers on the severity of concrete explosion under fire. Measurements of axial displacements and concrete temperatures are presented in this paper. The paper compares the obtained experimental values of the axial displacements with theoretical values calculated using a previously developed simple approach.
