I need some info regarding the effects of fire on concrete foundations. I have to evaluate some foundations on buildings that burned down. I think the foundations are ok, but I need some references to back me up. Anyone know of any? Thanks!!

 
I've done a little work on fire damaged homes, the biggest thing to look at if the walls have moved in because of the loss of the floor diaphragm. Other than that, it would take a quite a fire to actually damage the foundations.
