Generally speaking, adding a certain amount of steel fibres to a concrete mixture improves its mechanical properties. Currently, a lack of information considering tensile and post cracking behaviour of FRC at elevated temperatures is an issue to be faced. An experimental study of steel fibre reinforced concrete, also containing polymer fibres (FRC), subjected to high temperature is presented herein. Compressive strength, split tensile strength and ultimate bending strength were evaluated. Specimens were heated by the use of ceramic heaters and repacked for testing consequently. A finite-element based model was developed to predict the temperature distribution inside a specimen during both the heating and the cooling process.
