this type of materials. The effects of various porous fillers on thermal insulation performance were investigated
Theory study and it is suggested that the porous fillers with pozzolanic reactivity deserve to be utilized. The influences of fibers
on spalling resistance performance were analyzed. Also, the effect of fly ash on residual mechanical properties
after elevated temperatures was summarized and the analyses showed that other solid wastes produced after
calcination have the potential to be added for improving residual mechanical properties. Then, various con
duction theories and corresponding analytical models for predicting effective thermal conductivity and different
anti-spalling mechanisms of fibers were listed. Based on the analysis, the remaining challenges of development of
cement-based fire-resistive coatings were finally discussed.
