the test with the RWS curve. After the fire tests have been performed some of the tested concretes will be investigated further to study other physical and thermal characteristics. Therefore a large number of cylinders, cubes and notched beams have been manufactured. Thermal properties will be tested using DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) and TPS (Transient Plane Source) [5]. Mechanical testing will be conducted, including transient thermal creep tests, restrain force test and fracture energy tests. Residual permeability will be determined after different heat treatment and transient drying tests will be performed on different geometries. In the final paper a compilation of the results from the fire tests will be presented and a discussion of the possible influence of the investigated parameters on the fire spalling behaviour will be made. The focus will be to determine and discuss differences between concrete with and without PP-fibres. 1.
