Concrete is a Bad insulator of heat alone, but when it is reinforced then it turns into a good insulatar.

That's why concrete is a temperature dependent material.

You cannot predict only with temperature. Time is also a very important factor that governs the concrete strength in a fire.

An increase in temperature reduces the strength of concrete.
