Effect of Fire Exposed on the Behavior of RPC Columns

The book "Effect of Fire Exposed on the Behavior of RPC Columns" offers a comprehensive numerical investigation of the behavior of concentrically loaded, fire-exposed, reinforced reactive powder concrete (RPC) columns. It is divided into two main parts: the first part includes experimental work that ensures the developed model meets the requirements. The second part deals with the three-dimensional finite element modeling of the RPC columns using ABAQUS, conducting a coupled thermal displacement analysis of the fire exposure. Additionally, it addresses the spalling of concrete caused by fire, based on calculations of pore pressure in the concrete. This detailed analysis is of great interest to professionals and students in the fields of civil engineering and materials science.
