Fire Behaviour and the Residual Mechanical Properties of Structural ConcreteAuthor(s): Anand N, Balamurali Kanagaraj, Diana Andrushia\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Elsevier - Health Sciences Division, United States\nImprint: Woodhead Publishing\nISBN-13: 9780443273605, 978-0443273605\nSynopsis\nFire Behaviour and the Residual Mechanical Properties of Structural Concrete helps readers understand these processes, enabling engineers and researchers to develop effective fire protection measures and design guidelines for concrete structures. Studying the behavior of concrete under fire is crucial for understanding the performance and safety of concrete structures in fire conditions. Concrete is widely used in the construction industry due to its strength, durability, and fire resistance properties. However, even though concrete is inherently fire-resistant, it can still be affected by high temperatures.\n\nWhen concrete is exposed to fire, several physical and chemical processes take pla.
