Assessing Material Integrity After Repeated Fire Exposure

A building in Bakersfield has caught fire 23 times in a year, raising concerns about the structural integrity of concrete and steel materials. The repeated exposure to fire may have caused internal damage, such as delamination or calcination in concrete, and grain growth or loss of ductility in steel. Evaluating the material properties after such repeated exposure is crucial to determining the building's safety and potential need for demolition.
