An approach to the estimation of the post-fire state of steel reinforced concrete structures
Machines. Technologies. Materials., Vol. 12 (2018), Issue 10, pg(s) 407-411
The paper proposes a complex assessment of the post-fire state of steel reinforced concrete structures. It covers a combined usage of mechanical tests (core cutting and testing), non-destructive assessment of concrete strength, indirect physical (ultrasonic) methods and direct physical methods (X-ray structural and differential- thermal analyses). The complex analysis of the results enables one to assess the state of the structure and outline means of its strengthening, thus guaranteeing further flawless operation..
