A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Scope
This book presents the work done by the RILEM Technical Committee 227-HPB (Physical properties and behaviour of High-Performance Concrete at high temperature). It contains the latest research results on the modelling of concrete behaviour at high temperature. Some monographs on the subject have been published already but generally they do not cover the whole range of possibilities which are encountered in the literature as well as in practice. Moreover, there has been a rapidly increasing development of computational models during the last twenty years, which deserves attention. Therefore, it is the aim of this report to compile and present most of the tools that are proposed in the literature and are nowadays available for practice in some commercial computational packages. This chapter presents the main literature produced during the last decades on the behaviour at high temperature of concrete. This literature mainly focus on 2 main fields of application: the structural response and safety analysis of buildings and structures under fire and the nuclear industry and in particular the nuclear reactor containment buildings generally made of pre-stressed concrete. A special attention is paid to high performance concrete and their specific properties.
