This paper presents the results of reinforced self-compacting concrete beam-column sub-assemblage specimens subjected to elevated temperature test. The current proposed guidelines of fire resistant performance-based design of reinforced concrete structures were also discussed. Three full-scale beam-exterior column sub-assemblage specimens were tested to simulate the behavior of a seven-story residential building subjected to fire hazard. Analysis was carried out to predict the temperature distribution of specimens. Test results revealed that specimens designed according to seismic specifications performed satisfactorily after three-hour ISO834 fire exposure. The significant explosive spalling occurred within about 25 minutes after heating. The beam deflection at the end of heating was 10 times that before heating. In the residual strength test, two specimens failed in ductile flexural mode at the positive moment region of beam, while another one failed in shear. The temperature distribution of specimens can be reasonably predicted using ANSYS software. The prediction of fire resistance of specimens based on the current specifications of fire resistant performance-based design needs further study.
