Numerical investigations on post-fire bond behaviour of reinforcement in concrete

RILEM Technical Letters, 2019
Reinforced concrete (RC) structures may be subjected to accidental fire loads during their service life. In such a case, it is essential to have appropriate methods for the estimation of post-fire performance. One of the vital aspects for the performance
