... C35 SCC specimens were exposed to different target temperatures ranging from 20 °C to 700 °C and then subjected to two cooling regimes: natural cooling and water cooling. Residual compressive strength, failure morphology, surface damage characteristics and uniaxial stress-strain behavior were...

... at elevated temperatures. Most critically, the residual compressive strengths of reinforced concrete columns are significantly reduced after fire exposure. Validation of the worthiness of rehabilitating concrete structures after fire exposure is highly dependent on accurately determining the residual...

... to investigate the fire performance of concrete columns exposed to a standard fire, and then evaluate its residual compressive strengths after fire exposure of different durations. Design/methodology/approach To effectively study the fire performance of such columns, eight identical 200 × 200 × 1,500-mm high...

... mixtures. Further, AASFC mixture specimens were subjected to different levels of elevated temperature, i.e. 200°C, 400°C, 600°C and 800°C. Compressive strength and residual compressive strength were considered as responses. Three different optimization techniques i.e. gray relational analysis, technique...
