Introduction
Pozzolanic concretes are used extensively throughout the world: - where oil, gas, nuclear and power industries are among the major users - where concretes are exposed to high temperatures. Although concrete is generally believed to be an excellent fireproofing material, but there is extensive damage or even catastrophic failure at high temperatures. At high temperatures, chemical transformation of the gel weakens the matrix bonding, which brought about a loss of strength of fly ash concrete.

Fly Ash
Fly ash is a finely divided waste product resulting from the combustion of pulverized coal in power plants. It contains large amounts of silica, alumina and small amount of unburned carbon, which pollutes environment. It is grey in colour and alkaline in nature. The particle size ranges between 5-120 microns. When used in concrete, it displaces more than 25% of cement Creates a more stronger bond Reduces concretes environmental impact

Experimental Programme
Test results of materials used in work: Cement: IS mark 43 grade cement (Brand-ACC cement) was used for all concrete mixes. Testing of cement was done as per IS: 8112-1989

Fine Aggregates:
The sand used for the experimental programme was locally procured and conformed to grading zone III. The sand was first sieved through 4.75 mm sieve to remove any particles greater than 4.75 mm and then was washed to remove the dust. The fine aggregates were tested per Indian Standard Specifications IS: 383-1970

Fly Ash:
Investigations were made on fly ash procured from Guru Gobind Singh Super Thermal Power Plant, Ropar, Punjab. It was tested for chemical and physical properties per ASTM C 311.
Water: Potable tap water was used for the concrete preparation and for the curing of specimens. Super plasticizer:
Conplast - SP430. Conplast SP430 has been specially formulated to give high water reductions up to 25% without loss of workability or to produce high quality concrete of reduced permeability. Conplast SP430 is non-toxic.

Mix Design
The proportions for the concrete, as determined were 1:1.45:2.2:1.103 with a water cement ratio of 0.5 by weight. One control mixture M-0 was designed as per IS:102621982 to have 28-day compressive strength of 23.05 MPa. The other concrete mixtures were made by replacing cement with 30%, 40% & 50% of Class F fly ash by mass. In doing so, water-to-cementitious materials ratio was kept almost same to investigate the effects of replacing cement with high volumes of Class F fly ash when other parameters were almost kept same.

CONCLUSIONS
The following conclusions are drawn from this study:
1. Compressive strength of concrete decreases with the increase in cement replacement with Class-F fly ash. 2. With the variation of temperature compressive strength changed. With the rise in temperature from room temperature to 120C, compressive strength decreased. 3. Splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity increased with increase in age at each replacement level of cement with fly ash up to 50% but they were decreased with increase in volume of fly ash. 4. Increase in temperature up to 120C decreased the splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity, this is due to the chemical transformation of the gel weakened the matrix bonding, which brought about a loss of strength of fly ash concrete at high temperatures. 5. The specimens failed after the formation of a number of longitudinal (vertical) cracks in the loading direction, and no shear type failures occurred.
