Thermal Bowing of Reinforced Concrete Elements Exposed to Non-Uniform Heating

Thermal Bowing of Reinforced Concrete Elements Exposed to Non-Uniform Heating

The paper presents the test description and results of thermal bowing of RC beams exposed to non-uniform heating at high temperature. Bending of a non-uniformly heated element is caused by free thermal elongation of the material it is made of. The higher the temperature gradient, the greater the ben...
