The effect of fire on the flexural behavior of RC beams is investigated. Twenty-four reinforced concrete beams were constructed measuring 152 x 152 x 686 mm. Two (2) groups of beams were cast with different target concrete strengths, 20 and 30 MPa, exposed to fire at temperature above 300˚C for time...
