Experimental and Numerical Study on the Effect of Cooling Regimes on Concrete Thermal Properties and Temperature Progression

Abstract

AbstractThe performance of a concrete structure during both the growth (heating) and decay (cooling) phases of a fire is critical for retaining its integrity and stability, and it can be assessed by experimental or computational methods. The lack of ...Practical ApplicationsThe thermal evolution in concrete during a fire is crucial for the design of fire-resistant reinforced concrete structures. The thermal evolution is predominantly governed by the thermal characteristics of concrete throughout the ...
