Extracting Concrete Thermal Characteristics from Temperature Time History of RC Column Exposed to Standard Fire

A numerical method to identify thermal conductivity from time history of one-dimensional temperature variations in thermal unsteady-state is proposed. The numerical method considers the change of specific heat and thermal conductivity with respect to temperature. Fire test of reinforced concrete (RC...
