Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the heat insulating properties of various materials commonly utilized in fire-resistant construction. These include clay, gypsum, concrete, and lime mortar, as well as a patented material known as Radix. By subjecting cylindrical specimens of these materials to controlled heat conditions and analyzing the results, the author provides comparative data on their insulating performance. The focus of the investigation lies in evaluating the ability of these materials to protect load-bearing members, such as steel or concrete, from excessive temperatures in the event of a fire. The research findings shed light on the thermal behavior of different materials, including the influence of temperature on the strength of cement and the role of expansion in the overall performance of concrete. By comparing the strengths of specimens after exposure to high temperatures, the author highlights the importance of considering expansion when designing fire-resistant structures. This book serves as a valuable resource for professionals in construction and fire safety, providing insights into the thermal characteristics of common building materials and their implications for fire-resistant design. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
