Impact of Fire on Steel Reinforcement of R.C.C Structures

Abstract

With the increased incidents of major fires in buildings; assessment, repairs and rehabilitation of fire damaged structures has become a topical interest. This is a specialized field involves expertise in many areas like concrete technology, material science and testing, structural engineering, repair materials and techniques etc. Research and developmental efforts are being carried out in this area and other related disciplines. In this topic the experience of real life problems are presented which add immense value to this. This topic also gives a
comprehensive knowledge on the overall strategy for the restoration of fire damaged buildings and also presents a critical appraisal of the assessment procedures by different non destructive techniques, specifications and execution of repair techniques.
