Description
Summary:This book, 'Construction Materials and Their Properties for Fire Resistance and Insulation,' provides an in-depth examination of the fire resistance and insulating properties of various construction materials. Edited by Paul O. Awoyera and M.Z. Naser, it is part of the Woodhead Publishing Series in Civil and Structural Engineering. The publication discusses the thermal properties of materials like gypsum, timber, cold-formed steels, and novel concrete composites, and their behavior under elevated temperatures. It includes research on fire damage recovery and the influence of cooling regimes on novel concretes. The book is intended for civil engineers, researchers, and professionals seeking to enhance building safety and material performance in fire-prone environments.
