ASSESSMENT OF FIRE-DAMAGED CONCRETE STRUCTURES AND REPAIR BY GUNITE

Concrete structures are generally capable of being reinstated after a fire, even a severe one. The report summarizes the philosophy and procedures to be adopted in assessing the damage done to columns, beams and slabs of reinforced or prestressed concrete and categorizes degrees of damage into four classes. It describes the design and execution of the repairs necessary on the basis of such assessment, especially by guniting to restore the structure so that it will fulfill its original performance requirements, including fire resistance. /Author/
