Integrated approach for post-fire reinforced concrete structures assessment
In order to assess decay in the mechanical characteristics of re-exposed Reinforced Concrete (RC), it is crucial to recon- struct the temperature time history and the evolution of strain and stress elds. In this paper, the state of the art of assessment methods is presented and applied to a real structure damaged by re. It is a prestressed RC industrial warehouse located in the outskirts of the city of Cagliari (Italy). The collected data of several assessment methods are presented in order to produce the owchart of an integrated approach for post- re investi- gation. Among the various techniques, the authors highlight a thorough laser scanner geometric survey and destructive and non-destructive testing. In addition, the temperature distribu- tion and its time history has been reconstructed by means of optical and Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-ray diffractom- etry, Thermogravimetric Differential Thermo-Analysis and calibrated Colorimetry. Actually, refurbishment is needed, but the structure withstood the re very well. Central columns displayed the most impor- tant damage, and several beams presented important de ec- tions having lost the prestressing actions of the tendons.
