Concrete beams at risk: Fire spalling influenced by fire scenario.
The article reviews studies on how fire can cause concrete to break apart. It talks about problems with current rules on this issue. The researchers used a model to study how different factors affect concrete beams in a fire. They found that the type of fire and how easily water can pass through the concrete are big factors in how much damage occurs. More research is needed to better understand and prevent this type of damage in concrete structures.
