The objective of this paper is to compare the characteristics and effectiveness of ten reinforced concrete column repair methods. The repair is performed in order to counterbalance a significant or total loss of carrying capacity. The methods presented are divided into two groups. The first deals with the strengthening of the entire column ...
The size of the column is not restricted to allow the use of small concrete column cross-section in lightly loaded concrete structure, as per ACI 318-19. However, IS 456 specifies a minimum column size of 228 mm x 228 mm, contains steel reinforcement of 4 bars of 12 mm supported laterally by stirrups of 8 mm diameter at a distance of 150 mm.
3.2 Hysteretic Curve and Skeleton Curve. Figure 6 shows the hysteretic curves and skeleton curves of RC columns with ALR = 0.1. The hysteresis curves (Fig. 6a) tend to be flat (closer to the horizontal axis) when fire duration increases, and the RC column has a softening tendency. Skeleton curves (Fig. 6b) show that the peak force, …
The reinforced concrete columns exposed to natural fires are examined to see whether the risk of structural collapse exists during the cooling period and the …
Reinforced concrete (RC) columns are commonly used as the main load-bearing component of building structures owing to their excellent mechanical properties, and the fire resistance of RC columns has become a pivotal focus with the growing occurrence of building fires.
Every year fire causes thousands of deaths and loss of property across the world. Understanding of the thermal and mechanical properties concrete, structural steel, detailing and various fires ...
In Photo 2, also note that the falsework is in place not just to support the fresh concrete on the roof deck. Temporary support columns are visible to support the floor below the roof and, again ...
The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of hybrid fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening technique on the emergency repair of the severely damaged RC columns under...
In the past decade, more and more attention has been paid to the fire performance of concrete-filled double-skin steel tubular (CFDST) columns. The columns in actual structures are not isolated members and are affected by the adjacent structural members. ... However, little research has been conducted on the behaviour of restrained CFDST ...
Visual assessment is one of the simplest methods for non-destructively evaluating reinforced concrete structures for fire damage. As described earlier, evidence of fire dam …
Ensuring fire safety measures is a fundamental necessity in the design of buildings to safeguard the well-being of their occupants. Fire-related incidents pose a substantial danger to the integrity of reinforced concrete structures, even though concrete itself is inherently noncombustible. The exposure of concrete to high temperatures can …
The design of reinforced concrete columns under fire conditions is generally made on the basis of national and international recommendations. The CEB/FIP recommendations have been used for many years.

The design of concrete slabs and beams is not generally affected by fire design requirements. However, these can be a governing factor in the sizing of columns, particularly in multi-storey buildings. This article therefore concentrates on the guidance given in Eurocode 2 on the sizing of concrete columns for different fire resistance …
Splitting cracks in reinforced concrete column are short parallel vertical cracks with non-uniform width. Columns with Insufficient steel reinforcement, and low concrete quality are susceptible to experience …
Table 1: Concrete in fire: physiochemical processes Concrete temperature (°C) What happens 250-420 Some spalling may take place, with pieces of concrete breaking away from the surface . 300 Strength loss starts, but in reality only the first few centimetres of concrete exposed to a fire will get any hotter than this .

CONCRETE BLADE COLUMNS IN FIRE KEYWORDS: reinforced concrete, columns, fire resistance, standards. ABSTRACT: The Building Regulations of Australia governing the design of structures to resist fire are changing. A distinction is being made between life safety and property protection. As a result traditional requirements for high levels of ...
A new formula for predicting the fire resistance of reinforced concrete column is proposed. Abstract. Reinforced concrete (RC) columns are commonly used as the main load-bearing component of building structures owing to their excellent mechanical properties, and the fire resistance of RC columns has become a pivotal focus with the …
The column will be cut above from 1.5m. Prior to start cutting, the marking will be done on the existing concrete Columns. The column will be cut 150x150x150 one meter down from top from all edges to fix the bow …
Hydraulic and chemical pressure bursting break up concrete structures with a minimum of noise and flying debris. Both methods work by applying lateral forces against the inside of holes drilled into the concrete, and can do virtually any job other demolition methods are capable of. ... Minimizes dust and eliminates dust and fire hazards; Can be ...
Fire is a natural or a man-made disaster. Multi-story buildings in urban areas are more vulnerable to fires—[1, 2].The important fire incidents in multi-story buildings of last 2 years are given in Table 1.As concrete is one of the most widely used building material in structures; the property of spalling of concrete beyond 600C and …
Further, there are anomalies between the fire design for concrete blade columns and masonry columns as set out in the respective Australian standards. This paper describes research which has used a computer program developed by the National Research Council of Canada, correlated against previous fire tests, and modified to evaluate the fire ...
2.1 Casting of RC Column Specimens. Four RC columns were put through fire tests as part of this experimental program, as shown in Table 1.Two columns, C30220C and C30300C, were of normal-strength concrete (NSC) of grade M30 (f ck = 30 N/mm 2), and the other two column specimens, C60120C and C60500C, were of high …
Concrete is one of the most common construction materials. Because of its durability, low maintenance requirements, fire resistance, and ease of use, people all over the world use concrete for …
Concrete spalling is known as one of the most important scientific challenges that impede the development of fire tests carried out on ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) structures [1], [2], [3] and the widespread use of UHPC [4], [5].UHPC has excellent mechanical properties, high efficacy in dissipating seismic energy, and high …
Table 1 presents the details of the test specimens, where B and D are the overall width and depth of the cross-section, respectively; and f cu is the compressive cube strength of concrete at the time of bond tests. It should be mentioned that f cu and f cu,f were measured for concrete without exposure to fire. Since embedded I-section …
