| Abstract | Concrete has long been recognized as a durable and versatile building material, and concrete masonry units are used widely in the construction of modern buildings. Exposure to elevated temperatures characteristic of those attained in fires, however, may induce marked changes in the thermal and rheological properties of the component materials of concrete. Because of this, attention has been focused for some time on the behaviour of masonry units under unusual circumstances such as those experienced during fires. Concrete performance in fire is the subject of this Digest. |
