ABSTRACT

With the increased incidents of major fires in buildings; assessment,


repairs and rehabilitation of fire damaged structures has become a topical
interest. This is a specialized field involves expertise in many areas like
concrete technology, material science and testing, structural engineering,
repair materials and techniques etc. Research and developmental efforts are
being carried out in this area and other related disciplines. In this topic the
experience of real-life problems is presented which add immense value to
this. This topic also gives a comprehensive knowledge on the overall strategy
for the restoration of fire damaged buildings and also presents a critical
appraisal of the assessment procedures by different nondestructive
techniques, specifications and execution of repair techniques.

The experimentation has been done to find out the impact of the fire
on reinforcement steel bars by heating the bars to 100°,300°,600°,900°
centigrade of 6 samples each. The heated samples are rapidly cooled by
quenching in water and normally by air cooling. The change in the
mechanical properties is studied using universal testing machine (UTM) and
the microscopic study of grain size and grain structure is studied by scanning
electron microscope (SEM).

The general conclusion is that majority of fire damaged RCC


structures are repairable. But the impact of elevated temperature above 900°C
on the reinforcement bars was observed that there is significant reduction in
ductility when rapidly cooled by quenching. In the same case when cooled in
normal atmospheric conditions the impact of temperature on ductility is not
high. By heating the reinforcement bars, the mechanical properties can be
changed without varying the chemical composition.
