Abstract: Concrete is most widely used construction material in the world. Its service life is considered with its mechanical strength, durability and serviceability. As concrete is most important and widely used materials in construction. Hence, to meet its requirements we need to achieve high quality concrete. As the long-term performance of concrete structure can affect the life span of concrete, so it is necessary to know its properties and behaviour at large extend. Hence, to determine the mechanisms that affects the properties of concrete, enhance the understanding and implication of behaviour on the service life of concrete. We must have knowledge of strength -time relationship is of importance when a structure is subjected to certain type of loading. Hence testing is important so in this project we are going to determine the age factor of various grades of concrete used in PUNE METRO RAIL PROJECT. Hence, in this project we are going to test the concrete that is only applicable for PUNE METRO and after testing of concrete from the results it shows that the behaviour of concrete with increase of time which gives a factor which is the main objective of our project.
