<p>In structural fire engineering, there is a growing trend towards the use of performance based approaches to evaluate structural behaviour during or after a fire. Consequently, there is a need for an increased level of confidence in properties of construction materials used in these performance based approaches. Both steel and concrete have been experimentally observed to show a dispersal in the value of their respective structural strengths, at room temperature, but more significantly at high temperatures. In this paper the influence of three temperature dependent strength retention models for reinforcement steel on the bending moment capacity of simply supported reinforced concrete slabs exposed to a standardized fire is analysed. The results show that the structural response of reinforced concrete slabs strongly depends on the chosen probabilistic model, thus highlighting the importance of appropriate model selection.</p>

Abstract The current study presents the results of tests conducted in 5 reinforced concrete slabs (415 cm x 415 cm x 7 cm) in order to experimentally check the possibility of reinforcing their upper surface, as well as to assess the adhesion between the old and the reinforcing concrete layers in the slab. The main variables were the concrete and reinforcement strength deficiencies. Reference slab “L1” was tested until reaching the failure load, whereas the others were tested until reaching certain load limit, reinforced and retested until reaching the failure load. All slabs failed under bending. The strengthening increased the failure load by 30% in slabs reinforced at minimum reinforcement rate when they were compared to similar non-reinforced slabs, regardless of the original concrete strength. None of the tests conducted in the reinforced slabs showed detachments or evidence of adhesion loss between the old and reinforcing concretes.
