One of the important factors that must be considered in evaluating the integrity of structures for further use after exposure to fire is whether the fire endurance of specific structural elements or a structural assembly has been reduced to a value less than that required by the building code. While
Concrete structures are not necessarily safe during a fire. Thermal exposure will suddenly cause failures to the concrete structural units. Improper design increases the probability of failure. For instance, the structural unit can collapse as a result of explosive spaUing during the f'wst thirty mi
