This SpringerBrief equips readers to develop defensible fire safety designs for a range of concrete structures. It identifies current gaps in the research and provides a more complete understanding of the structural and thermal response of contemporary Post-tensioned (PT) concrete structures to fire. The brief includes chapters on contemporary construction using PT concrete; previous structural fire test research programs; recent research programs; real fire case studies; and current research needs. It explores the progression of PT concrete structures; looking at the sustainability and aesthetic benefits; the ongoing development of stronger concretes; and best practice guidance for improving safety in the event of fire.Designed for practitioners and researchers in fire engineering; this brief is a valuable tool for those studying the impact of fire on concrete; fire safety designs; and building safety optimization. Advanced-level students in civil engineering will also find the content useful.
