This paper addresses the efficiency of thermal insulation layers applied to protect structural elements strengthened by fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) in the case of fire event. The paper presents numerical modeling and nonlinear... more
Regardless of the type of construction, structures ca pable of containing a fully developed fire do not just hap pen. Fire walls or area separation walls play an important role in the building codes in that they allow each portion of a... more
This review covers mainly intumescent coatings, with briefer discussions of non-intumescent organic fire-resistive coatings and cementitious inorganic coatings. Emphasis is placed on the more recent developments, and the more recent... more
In the present research oleic acid carbon dots have been optimized for high-thermal stability applications via suitable thermal-tuning in liquid as well as in anhydrous medium. The intended tuning of the nano-dimensional particles was... more
This type of lightweight concrete has no coarse aggregates in its mixture, and it can be mentioned that aerated lightweight concrete is the concrete mortar which is aerated with gas injection and also can be aerated by using air... more
Recent regulation IEC 60335-1 ed.4 (2008) was introduced for materials used in electric appliance, establishing new limits in Glow Wire Ignition Temperature (GWIT) performance for materials used for electric connectors. Development of new... more
To assess the fire resistance of historical buildings, information is needed about the applied materials, the construction details, etc. Starting from this information calculation models can be set up to determine the fire resistance of... more
On Tuesday April 28, 2009 a report for BBC displayed an interview with a Palestinian citizen rebuilt his destroyed house with mud brick and mentioned that, it is a shame to live in a mud house at this age. The researcher was struck by... more
Composite truss and composite beam systems have recently been widely applied in long- span multi-storey floor construction. In a fire resistance design according to BS5950 Part 8, two alternative calculation approaches, a limiting... more
Expanded perlite is a porous, lightweight, fire resistant and moisture retaining material with sound and thermal insulation properties. In this research, acoustical behaviour of plates made of expanded perlite was studied experimentally.... more
Fire is considered to be a major threat for buildings and its surroundings. Fire can be occurred at any stage of construction and the time or intensity cannot be predicted earlier. Concrete encased composite beams are those in which... more
