Abstract
A literature study has been performed on bond and shear strength of concrete structures exposed to high temperature. Present knowledge and areas where more research is needed have been investigated. Selected results from small and large scale bond tests as well as large scale shear tests are presented. There is a need to investigate further the shear strength of concrete beams both during a fire and after a fire to be able to model the bearing capacity of a structure. Fracture mechanics and the finite element method is recommended to be used in advanced analyses.
