An extended finite element model for modelling localised fracture of reinforced concrete beams in fire
Develop an extended finite element model for modelling concrete beams in fire. Propose a criterion to determine the initiation of individual cracks. Consider the influence of the bond condition on the fire resistance of reinforced concrete beams. Assess the integrity of reinforced concrete beams under fire conditions.
