    Simply analysis should lead a firefighter to expect rapid structural failure of these buildings during fires.

    • Structural insulated panels (SIP)

    • Ordinary Construction

    • Lightweight Steel

    • Insulated concerte forming (ICF)

    Correct Answer
    A. Structural insulated panels (SIP)
    Explanation
    Structural insulated panels (SIP) are a type of construction material that consists of a foam core sandwiched between two layers of structural boards. These panels are known for their high strength and thermal insulation properties. Due to their composition, SIPs are prone to rapid structural failure during fires. The foam core can quickly ignite and release toxic gases, while the structural boards may lose their integrity under high temperatures. Therefore, a firefighter would expect these buildings to collapse more quickly during fires compared to other construction materials.
