Abstract

This paper describes the results of a fire test conducted on two-way simply supported concrete slab. The details of support condition, arrangement of reinforcement, position of displacement transducers and thermocouple trees are described. The experimental results such as 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. Three main cracks parallel to the short span direction occurred on the top surface of the slab. It is shown that two-way simply supported concrete slab has good fire resistance.
