In the present study the fire analysis of a curved reinforced concrete beam exposed to concrete spalling is presented. Due to the complexity of physical and chemical processes in concrete at elevated temperatures, the proposed numerical model is divided into two consecutive mathematically uncoupled phases. In the second phase of the fire analysis a partially coupled numerical model is introduced in order to evaluate the effect of concrete spalling on the behaviour of curved RC beam in fire. In addition, the effect of depth, time development and the length of spalling area on the fire resistance of a curved RC beam is discussed.Downloads
