The research presented in this thesis seeks to examine and understand the mechanism of fire spalling role played by the external compressive loading during heating. Concrete cube (200 x 200 x 200 mm3) and slab (800 x 800 x 100 mm3) specimens made with CEM II and CEM III cements (B40-II and B40-III: fc28days ≈ 40 MPa) were exposed to ISO 834-1 fire curve under different levels of external uniaxial (for cube) and biaxial (for slab) compressive stress. Additionally, the effect of external compressive loading (confining pressure and uniaxial load) on the residual gas permeability of concretes have been investigated. In order to better analyse the experimental results and to provide more insight into the mechanism behind the fire spalling behavi...
