Effect of Fire Exposed on the Behavior of RPC Columns

This book presents a numerical study on the behaviour of concentrically loaded reinforced reactive powder concrete (RPC) columns exposed to fire. The first part is an experimental work to ensure that the model developed is adequate. While the second part is a three-dimensional finite element (FE) modelling of the RPC columns in ABAQUS with coupled thermal displacement analysis of the fire exposure. Fire-induced spalling is also presented based on pore pressure calculations in concrete.
