Indian Concrete JournalSummary: Fire poses a serious threat to the safety of concrete structures. The relative properties of concrete, after such an exposure, are of great importance in terms of the serviceability of buildings. Mechanical and Physico-chemical properties of concrete changes when exposed to fire / elevated temperatures, due to difference in thermal conductivity and coefficient of expansion of the constituents of concrete. Many researchers carried out studies on effect of elevated temperatures on high strength concrete (HSC). However, there is still need for the recognition of an adequate understanding of elevated temperatures effects on the behaviour of HSC. This review emphasises on the current research trends on the HSC subjected to elevated temperatures, and its corresponding behaviour. In addition, the efficacies of addition of fibers in HSC, subjected to elevated temperatures, are also outlined. The effect of elevated temperatures on the properties of HSC are presented, and major failure modes are discussed. Based on the observations, the needs for future research are also highlighted.
