Fiber Reinforced Fly Ash Concrete and Extreme Fires

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents results from two large scale experiments on six concrete panels reinforced with steel fibers or bars obtained during an extensive experimental program aimed at possible application of cement reduced (fly ash replaced) concrete in the production of precast segmental linings for tunnels created by TBM. In particular, this paper focuses on the comparison of fire resistance of enhanced mixtures loaded by the modified RWS fire curve. The results from the experiments include spalling, overall damage of the surface, deformations during the fire exposure, temperature distribution and residual strength of the tested panels.
