Construction Materials and Their Properties for Fire Resistance and Insulation covers the properties of novel types of concrete and other more conventional building materials in fire scenarios. The volume also stands out as an invaluable reference resource for its relevance to varied audiences both in academia and industry, spanning materials science, civil and structural engineering, and fire safety engineering. Ensuring buildings are fire safe starts at the very beginning of planning new builds or renovations. Hence, it's essential, in fact, that the right materials are chosen not only according to their load-bearing capabilities but also their susceptibility to decay and fire resistance.
- Provides appropriate inputs for material behavior at elevated temperatures generated by fire, which is key to enable the assessment of various construction materials' fire performance
- Illustrates the effects of fire on materials' performance to support decisions related to a building's safe structural rehabilitation
- Includes probabilistic models, numerical studies, and application cases
