Design of Fire-resistant Concrete Structures

<p><em style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(33 37 41 1)>Design of Fire-resistant Concrete Structures</em><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(33 37 41 1)> gives a thorough insight into the behaviour of concrete structures exposed to fire. It mixes theory including physics and analysed data with practice and shows design methods for beams slabs columns and walls of fire-exposed cross-sections. It explains the physical processes that concrete materials experience when subjected to high temperatures allowing the engineer to make an informed decision when choosing materials and designing a concrete structure.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(33 37 41 1)>This book includes coverage of:</span></p><ul><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(33 37 41 1)>anchorage of reinforcement at fire</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(33 37 41 1)>explosive spalling of high-strength concrete</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(33 37 41 1)>how to make fire-safe concrete structures</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(33 37 41 1)>temperature movement and calculations</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(33 37 41 1)>thermal properties</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(33 37 41 1)>effective design for structures of high fire resistance;</span></li></ul><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(33 37 41 1)>Written by an author with over 40 years' experience in research and practice this book contains essential knowledge required by consulting engineers municipal authorities producers of concrete elements and details contractors and students tasked with designing and understanding concrete structures.</span></p><p></p>
