This paper deals with the evaluation of the residual strength of high-strength concrete (HSC) structural elements exposed to accidental loading as fire. The question is whether a structure retains enough residual strength for continued unaltered or limited use. The after-accident serviceability, residual strength, cost of repair and second-order consequences are all of vital importance for industrial production systems such as the petroleum industry, offshore installations, power plants and transportation systems. This study discusses in particular the fire resistance and residual strength of HSC-reinforced beams exposed to hydrocarbon fire. Research needs are also discussed.
