The Thermal Conductivity of Various Forms of Tile and Their Value as Fireproofing Materials, originally published in 1915, presents a detailed investigation into the heat-transfer properties of different tile types. Authored by S. W. Anderson, this report offers insights into the suitability of these materials for fire protection in buildings and other structures.
Anderson's work provides valuable data on the thermal behavior of tiles, crucial for architects, engineers, and builders seeking to enhance the safety and resilience of their constructions. This study remains relevant for understanding historical approaches to fireproofing and informs contemporary research in materials science and sustainable building practices. It serves as a foundational text for anyone interested in the evolution of fire-resistant construction techniques and the use of tile as a protective element.
