Overview
The embodied carbon of construction and building materials contributes roughly 11% of global emissions. Many novel or emerging construction materials, such as ultra-high-performance concrete and steel, low-carbon concrete, timber composites, nanoengineered construction materials, fireproof materials, and insulation materials, are being developed to reduce carbon emissions contribution.
It is important to understand the fire performance and resistance of any construction materials to ensure fire safety of a structure. Significant progress has been made in studying thermal and mechanical properties of modern sustainable construction materials. This special issue is dedicated to the fire performance and resistance of construction materials. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): construction materials, thermal properties, fire resistance, fire safety, mechanical properties, regression-based models, artificial intelligent-based material models, and design implications.

Special issue information:
This Special Issue relates to The International Conference on Fire Safety Engineering Research and Practice (iCFSERP-2024) (https://icfserp.org/)This conference (24-27 November 2024) will bring international and national experts in fire safety engineering and structural fire engineering research and practice to Sydney, Australia to present and share their latest research and practice. The iCFSERP-2024 will feature 11 keynote addresses by world leaders in fire safety engineering..Climate change is already influencing global fire seasons, extending them due to an increase in dry and hot days. These prolonged fire seasons are expected to intensify the frequency and severity of fires, posing significant risks to property, infrastructure, and human life. Understanding the behaviour and resistance of construction materials when exposed to fire becomes crucial. This involves considering both the heat transfer characteristics and the mechanical response to heating. Developing this understanding is essential for enhancing the resilience of structures in the face of evolving fire challenges.The main objectives of this conference are to provide an opportunity for professional interaction amongst the researchers, engineers, academics, and students, as well as to strengthen the industrial cooperation and showcase the latest developments and future trends in their fields, including the fire behaviour and resistance of construction materials.
