Concrete spalling due to fire exposure results mainly from two processes: a 'thermo-mechanical' process due to high thermal gradients, and a 'thero-hydral' process due to the build-up of pore water pressure.  This paper deals with the combination of both those processes. Large scale reinforced concrete walls were tested under hydrocarbon fire conditions to investigate concrete spalling...
