The Tisova Fire Test was a large fire test conducted in the Czech Republic in January 2015 inside of a 4-storey concrete frame building, with concrete and composite deck floors. The test compartment was on the ground floor and the fire compartment had a total area of ca. 230m2 with a height of 4.4m.

(2005) conducted experimental tests on reinforced concrete columns under fire loads. He constructed RC columns with circular and square cross-sections with 400 millimeter (diameter, length).

It is also assumed that two hours’ fire resistance is required for the building. Therefore the nominal covers of beams, slabs and columns for the required fire resistance are 30mm, 25mm and 25mm respectively 14. According to Eurocode

Fire Resistance From previous sections, it is realized that load eccentricity is a prime reason of aggressive and differential spalling in RC columns.

However, the amount of concrete cover (to the outside of the steel section) is substantial and to control spalling of the concrete in fire, a light reinforcing mesh is required at the mid-depth of the concrete cover.

Read MoreThe reinforced concrete elements are known to have enhanced fire behaviour however there are many things that can affect that performance. In the last years there have been carried out, in the University of Coimbra, Portugal, dozens of fire resistance tests on concrete columns where it was tested the influence of various parameters on the behaviour of these columns.
