N2 - Results from fire resistance experiments on two full-scale FRP-strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams are presented in this paper. The rectangular RC beams strengthened with CFRP and insulated with Tyfo® WR Advanced Protection (AFP) system, were tested under a design fire exposure. Data from fire tests is used to evaluate the thermal and structural response, as well as failure patterns in FRP-strengthened RC beams. Test results indicate that effectiveness of anchorages play a critical role in limiting the debonding of FRP under fire conditions. FRP-strengthened RC beams supplemented with 25 mm thick spray-applied Tyfo® WR AFP system can survive failure under non-standard fire (design fire) conditions, comprising of 3 hours of ASTM E119 growth phase followed by a cooling phase.
