Modern concrete structures face extreme thermal challenges, with building fires reaching temperatures of 1000°C within 30 minutes. Standard concrete mixtures begin to lose structural integrity at 300°C, with significant strength degradation occurring through spalling and internal decomposition reactions. Recent testing shows that incorporating specialized aggregates and mineral admixtures can extend concrete's thermal stability up to 1050°C for two hours.

The fundamental challenge lies in balancing thermal resistance with mechanical strength while maintaining practical workability and cost-effectiveness in real-world applications.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including refractory fiber reinforcement systems, alumina-based mineral admixtures, specialized aggregate compositions, and nano-polyacrylonitrile fiber integration. These and other approaches focus on creating concrete mixtures that maintain structural integrity during fire events while remaining feasible for large-scale construction projects.
