A fire outbreak in a reinforcement concrete structure looses the organism by the different contraction and expansion of hardened cement pastes and aggregate, and causes cracks by thermal stress, leading to the deterioration of the durability. So concrete reinforcement structure is damaged partial or whole structure system. Therefore diagnosis of deterioration is needed based on mechanism of fire deterioration in general concrete structures. Fundamental information and data on the properties of concrete exposed to high temperature are necessary for accurate diagnosis of deterioration. In this study, it was presented data for the accurate diagnosis and selection of repair and reinforcement system for the deteriorated concrete heated highly, various concrete such as standard design compressive strength, fine aggregate and admixture were exposed to a high temperature environment. And fundamental data were measured engineering properties such as explosive spatting, ultrasonic pulse velocity and compressive strength.

Recently, fire resistance of high performance concrete for explosive spalling was issued as high performance concrete was vulnerable to the explosive spalling in initial fire. Therefore, in this study, an experiment about reduction effect to explosive spalling of high performance concrete is performed by adding several polymer fiber with various volume fraction, an then final fiber and volume fraction of that which reduce the explosive spalling of high performance concrete is presented. As the result of this study, the most fitted fiber volume fraction of reducing effect for explosive spalling at high performance concrete is under the 0.1%, as consider the flowability and efficiency.
