Abstract
This chapter presents the most commonly used approach to analyse the thermo-mechanical behaviour of concrete structures subjected to high temperatures as in the case of fire loading. Prescriptions of the Eurocode are detailed for the thermal as well as the mechanical analysis. Finally, recommendations from two national (Austrian and German) guidelines give some improvements for underground infrastructure.
