Best Answer

Concrete will react differently according to the temperature experienced.

for normal strength concrete nothing will happen at less than 500c but after that it starts losing its strength and cracks will appear will fail from 5-6 hours and it may explode but exploding is less likely to happen

but for high strength concrete at a very high 500c-700c it well explode suddenly
