Abstract: In cement-based composites, bond behaviour is an important specialty throughout the service life of structure, especially since it is exposed to elevated temperature. Since there is a lot of CO₂ emission during the production of cement, the necessity of using by-products that can be substituted in order to limit its consumption emerges. To improve the post-fire behaviour of eco-friendly composites, by-products such as blast furnace slag, fly ash and silica fume are used. Since the adherence loss could not be measured in structures, it is necessary to estimate without any touch. So, estimation models are designed based on dual, triple and quaternary combinations of independent variables. As a result, the model created by mix, T and FS shows the best performance.

Keywords: post-fire; adherence; eco-friendly composite; by-product.
