Abstract
This paper describes the results of a furnace test conducted on two-way concrete slab with clamped edges. The details of clamped support condition, arrangement of reinforcement, position of displacement transducers and thermocouple trees are described. Detailed experimental data in the form of describing slab cracking, the temperature distributions within the slab, vertical deflections and horizontal displacements are presented. The experimental results show that the temperature distribution along the slab depth was nonlinear and the temperature gradients in the slab were large. Extensive cracks occurred on the top surface of the slab and formed in an elliptical pattern. It is shown that two-way concrete slab with clamped edges has good fire resistance.
