Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams in the building structures are usually assumed as a ‘T’-shaped beam when the effects of adjacent slab flange are considered. However, experimental studies on residual flexural behavior of ‘T’-shaped RC beams are rarely reported. The residual flexural behavior of two RC rectangular beams and one RC ‘T’-shaped beam after exposure to ISO834 standard fire were experimentally investigated in the paper. The detailed experimental results, including the measured temperatures, flexural capacity, load-deflection curves and concrete strain are presented. The effects of flange on temperature distribution and residual flexural behavior of RC beams were analyzed. The experimental results show that: (a) the assumption of plane section is applicable for RC ‘T’-shaped beam. (b) The flexural capacity of RC rectangular beam was decreased 18.5% after exposure to fire for 2 hours, but the ultimate mid-span deflection was increased 55.1%. (c) The residual flexural capacity and the ultimate mid-span deflection of RC rectangular beam after fire was respectively increased 8.4% and 9.9% due to the effect of flange.
