Abstract

This paper presents a study that investigates the impact of various face exposures: totally and partly on the behavior of traditional strength concrete (RC) concrete beams once exposed to fireplace. Six concrete beams of traditional strength were tested in flexure once one hour normal fireplace exposure, followed by a typical cooling section. The results show that cooling section is important in achieving most temperature in RC beams. The various face exposures and concrete strengths considerably have an effect on the load initially cracking, serviceableness deflection and failure altered once fireplace exposure.
