Concrete is generally strong in compression and weak in tension also it resist against fire. Cement concrete is a complex mixture of different materials, for which the properties may alter in different environmental conditions. The behavior of concrete is depends on difference in temperatures and its mix proportions. The principle effects in the concrete due to elevated temperatures are loss in compressive strength, loss in weight or mass, change in color and spalling of concrete. The objective of this research attempt was to prove experimentally the effects on the behavior of concrete under elevated temperatures of different grades (M20, M40 and M60) of concrete. The compressive strength was determined at different temperatures, thus providing scope of determining loss in strength. In addition, effects on strength under cooling for different grades of concrete were studied. The specimens were kept in oven at certain temperatures (200°C, 400°C, 600°C, and 800°C) for 1 hour at constant temperatures. Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, i.e. Rebound hammer test was adopted to study the changes in surface hardness of concrete specimens subjected to elevated temperatures.
