Abstract
A mathematical model for estimating structural performance of reinforced concrete beams exposed to fire has been set up by combining two mathematical submodels for calculation of temperature and structural performance. And the validity of the model has been verified by experiments on two dimensions of full scale beams. For listing the fire damage of 720 types of beams with different specifications such as dimensions, total amount and compressive/tensile cross-sectional area ratio of reinforcing steel bars to be included in the beams, the mathematical model has been applied. Some of the results are presented as examples in this paper.
