Abstract

 Reinforced Concrete (RC) is a Composite material in which concrete has relatively low tensile strength and ductility. These points are counter acted by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength and ductility. In an event of fire, high temperature is attained. Concrete is considered fire-proof up to a certain temperature. Reinforced concrete is protected from fire by the cover which is present over the reinforcement. The steel in the RC is protected externally with application of fire-resistant material. A proper assessment of the structure after a fire event is needed, which includes field as well as laboratory tests. The evaluation of the results from the test helps to determine the extent of damage to the structure. Depending on the extent of damage, a repair scheme can be decided. This paper includes some methods of damage assessment, techniques of repair, before repair testing of structure as well as after repair test results of the structure.
