Abstract
New experimental insight into the spalling behavior of concrete in fire conditions is presented in this paper. Spalling was recorded by a high-speed camera. The slow-motion sequences allow us to determine the size, shape, and velocity of the spalled-off pieces. With this information at hand, the released energy associated with every spalling event is computed and compared to the energies associated with pore-pressure and thermal-stress spalling. This comparison provides new insight into the impact of the various thermal, mechanical, and hydral processes controlling concrete spalling.
