Adams, F.C. and Day, T.V., 1970. THE THERMAL MOVEMENT OF CONCRETE FLOOR UNITS UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS. Fire Research Notes 816
ABSTRACT
With some forms of precast building construction the failure of the structural element junctions may cause premature collapse of the building in the event of fire. There is no equipment that can assess under fire conditions the behaviour of a building system and for this reason the equipment normally used for fire resistance tests on individual elements was utilised. The experiment was designed to provide data on the movement that could be expected in concrete floor slabs and to assess whether failure at the supporting walls could result.
