Spalling of high strength concrete in fire

Abstract: This paper reviews a series of experimental tests programmes undertaken at BRE in the UK on the performance in fire of high strength concrete with a particular focus on mix design to assess the effects of spalling. The experiments include a series of fire tests on reinforced and unreinforced concrete columns and tunnel linings. The paper will provide information on the parameters that lead to explosive spalling of tunnel linings in a fire situation and on the measures available to mitigate this hazard.

“…With enhanced applications of HSC, there is rising concern about HSC's behavior in fire, which can damage structures (Figure 1). The phenomenon of spalling at higher temperatures is the primary reason for this concern (Khaliq and Kodur, 2018;Xiong and Liew, 2020;Kushnir et al, 2021;Lalu et al, 2021;Li et al, 2021). Usually, the structural elements of normal-strength concrete show considerable performance under exposure to fire.…”
