In this paper, some major influencing factors and spalling of concrete at elevated temperatures will be first reviewed. Limitations of current test setups for fire test, with a focus on the questionable reliability of thermal boundary condition and deformation capturing, will then be discussed to highlight the need for improved setups. On that basis, details of a new test setup will be presented. It will be shown that the use of radiant burner system and DIC technique with band-pass filter and blue illumination effectively addresses the identified limitations of existing systems: While the radiant burner system allows us to generate known and consistent thermal boundary conditions, the adoption of DIC technique with band-pass filter and blue illumination enables it to reliably capture deformation of concrete surfaces at elevated temperatures in a full-field, non-contact manner. With this new test setup established, a comprehensive set of reliable data can now be further collected, forming a solid basis for revising concrete performance in fire, taking into account the effects of temperature and temperature gradients.
