Abstract

This paper reviews a series of experimental tests programmes undertaken at BRE in the UK on the performance in fire of high strength concrete with a particular focus on mix design to assess the effects of spalling. The experiments include a series of fire tests on reinforced and unreinforced concrete columns and tunnel linings. The paper will provide information on the parameters that lead to explosive spalling of tunnel linings in a fire situation and on the measures available to mitigate this hazard.
