Abstract: Concrete in structures is likely to be exposed to high temperatures during fire. The probability of its exposure to elevated temperatures is high due to natural hazards, accidents and sabotages. Therefore, the performance of concrete during and after exposure to elevated temperature is a subject of great importance and interest to the designer. Popular normal strength grades of concrete produced by Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) India, Mangalore have been used in production of test specimens (150 mm cubes), cured and tested by destructive method for gathering data on strength characteristics. Later, these test samples were subjected to elevated temperatures ranging from 100 C to 800 C, in steps of 100 C with a retention period of 2 hours. After exposure, weight losses and the residual compressive strength retention characteristics are studied. Test results indicated that weight and strength significantly reduces with an increase in temperature. Residual compressive strength prediction equations are proposed for normal strength concretes subjected to elevated temperatures.
