Concrete itself does not explode, but it can experience explosive spalling or fragmentation under certain conditions, such as exposure to extreme heat or rapid temperature changes. When subjected to intense heat, trapped moisture within the concrete can turn to steam, causing pressure buildup that may lead to cracking or pieces breaking off. Additionally, certain chemical reactions, like those involving expansive agents or improper mixing, can create explosive-like failures in concrete structures. However, these scenarios are generally not classified as explosions in the traditional sense.

Will concrete explode?

Concrete itself does not explode, but it can break apart or spall if subjected to extreme heat, pressure, or chemical reactions. For example, when exposed to high temperatures, the moisture trapped within the concrete can vaporize, leading to explosive spalling. Additionally, certain additives or poor mixing can create conditions that might result in cracking or fragmentation. Overall, while concrete won't explode spontaneously, it can fail dramatically under specific circumstances.

How does concrete behave in fire?

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
