State‐of‐the‐art review on the post‐fire assessment of concrete structures
Fires are rare events, but in the case of their occurrence, they can have a significant effect on the structure. Concrete is a durable noncombustible material but can be damaged by fire. This damage does not often lead to structural collapse, but can significantly hinder the structure's future performance. A thorough post-fire assessment of concrete structures is essential to determine the condition of the structure and select the best course of action to take. This paper reviews the current state of knowledge on the post-fire assessment of concrete structures. The techniques that are commonly used are presented and discussed, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, based on the literature case studies, an overview of different approaches and techniques is presented. Finally, the framework and goals of the post-fire assessment are investigated. The paper concludes with a summary of the current state of knowledge and a list of key research needs.
