High strength construction materials are now attractive owing to their economic and architectural advantages. The higher the material strength, the smaller member size is required. Ultra-high strength concrete (UHSC) encased columns are being developed for the erection of high-rise buildings due to their higher load bearing capacity and smaller cross section size compared to normal strength concrete encased columns. When the UHSC is subject to elevated temperature, explosive fire-induced spalling is more often observed than in normal strength concrete. The consequence of spalling could cause serious life loss and damage to the close key infrastructure. Spalling is mostly due to the UHSC increased density, lower permeability and brittlenes...
