Application of expanded polystyrene (EPS) in buildings and constructions: A review
TL;DR: Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is one of the building material capable of enhancing the design and structural integrity of a building and has been experiencing swift progress in other new implementations.

Full-scale fire testing and numerical modelling of the transient thermo-mechanical behaviour of steel-stud gypsum board partition walls
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present experimental observations and results of full scale standard fire tests as well as thermo-mechanical sequentially coupled finite element simulations on partition walls and propose a procedure for carrying out numerical simulation of the coupled-thermo-MEchanical behaviour is proposed.

Experimental Study of Combustible and Non-combustible Construction in a Natural Fire
TL;DR: In this article, a series of full scale fire tests was conducted at Carleton University, and the results of which are presented in this paper were compared with combustible and non-combustible construction, and it was found that gypsum boards provided a better protection to CLT panels than to light frame walls.

EN1990 Eurocode—Basis of structural design
TL;DR: This paper provides an introduction to the head Eurocode, its innovative approach to reliability and risk-management and its limit-state design philosophy, and summarises the loading combinations for which all European structures will need to be assessed in the forseeable future.

A model for predicting heat transfer through gypsum‐board/wood‐stud walls exposed to fire
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple two-dimensional computer model is presented to predict heat transfer through gypsum-board/wood-stud walls exposed to fire, and small-and full-scale fire resistance tests are conducted on gypsyboard/stud wall assemblies to provide data for the validation of the model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal properties of gypsum plasterboard at high temperatures
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermodynamic properties of gypsum plasterboard have been determined and modified to create smooth enthalpy and thermal conductivity curves suitable for input into a finite element heat transfer model.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for predicting heat transfer through noninsulated unloaded steel-stud gypsum board wall assemblies exposed to fire
TL;DR: In this paper, a one-dimensional heat transfer model for steel-stud, noninsulated, unloaded gypsum board protected wall assemblies is presented, which predicts slightly conservative fire-resistance ratings compared to the experimental measurements, is appropriate for most fire safety engineering applications.

Holistic behaviour of concrete buildings in fire
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss various modes of structural behaviour of a concrete building when subjected to a fire, based on observations from a full-scale test, and provide a valuable insight into the holistic behaviour of concrete buildings when subject to fire.
