Abstract : This paper presents a study that investigates the effect of different face exposures: fully and partially on the behavior of normal strength reinforced concrete (RC) concrete beams when exposed to fire. Six reinforced concrete beams of normal strength were tested in flexure after 1 hour standard fire exposure, followed by a standard cooling phase. The results show that cooling phase is critical in attaining maximum temperature in RC beams. The different face exposures and concrete strengths significantly affect the load at first cracking, serviceability deflection and failure altered after fire exposure. Keywords- RC beams, cooling phase, different face exposure, exposed to fire, normal strength concrete beams.
