Abstract

This paper deals with structural behavior of reinforced concrete beams under fire. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of concrete covers and exposure time to fire on the structural behavior of the beams under high temperature condition. The structural behaviors of RC beams with normal and high strength concrete under high temperature are compared. For this purpose, twenty beam specimens are fabricated and experimented. Twenty specimens are exposed to the fire for 60 and 90 minutes and to the failure. The research result shows that the main variables of the test, concrete cover and exposure time to fire influence the structural behavior.
