- Additional information
- Full-scale high-strength reinforced concrete slender columns containing PVA fibres showed better structural performance and did not show any signs of spalling when exposed to fire for up to two hours. The authors concluded that using PVA fibres might prevent catastrophic failures during fires. As a result of this research, the Committee for Egyptian Fire and Safety Code of Practice selected the first and fourth authors as new members from Benha and Fayoum universities to contribute to updating the Code. This will be effective for the design of high-rise reinforced concrete buildings in the new administrative capital of Egypt.
