The influence of the various factors that determine temperatures in fire‐exposed concrete slabs is examined, in particular that of material properties. Both experimental and theoretical studies have been carried out. From these a set of thermal properties has been derived that is representative of the properties of siliceous concrete and suitable for use in fire resistance calculations.
