CONCRETE'S RESISTANCE TO FIRE

The world's most popular building material is concrete. A civil engineer can accomplish heights they never thought possible.when this concrete is made into reinforced cement concrete by adding steel bars. However, reinforced concrete is vulnerable to the good powers of nature, specifically "FIRE," just like every other material on Mother Earth.This essay discusses how fire and reinforced concrete interact.What does "Fire Rating" signify in terms of the procedure is explained. How exactly are Fire Ratings obtained? R.C.C. members have a natural fire resistance. the physical and chemical processes a R.C.C. member experiences as a result of being around fires and their high temperatures. This paper finishes with recommendations for improving structural concrete's fire resistance as well as information on the rules set forth by IS 456:2000 for ensuring a specific level of fire resistance in concrete
