Summary

This method provides a means for predicting, by calculation, the resistance to fire of a reinforced or prestressed concrete element of construction, in accordance with 1959 French directives. The method is useful in allowing builders to design structures which show the degree of fire resistance required by the various French construction regulations in force. According to those regulations, only a test furnishes legal proof of fire resistance. French researchers hope this first step will lead to the acceptance in France of fire resistance calculations as legal proof of satisfactory resistance.
