Performance of Reinforced Concrete Structures Subjected to Elevated Temperatures Client The CANDU Owners Group (COG) The Problem Elevated temperatures can significantly influence the performance and behaviour of reinforced concrete. Typically, these effects result in reduced material and physical properties of the concrete and reinforcing steel, depending on the actual temperature and duration of exposure. This consideration is of particular concern for reinforced concrete containment structures at CANDU nuclear generating stations. Project Objectives This project was performed to develop an analytical method to model and predict the performance and behaviour of reinforced concrete structures subjected to elevated temperatures. The principal objective of the project was to use data and t
