Thermal conductivity coefficients of concretes made up of mixtures of expanded perlite and
pumice aggregates (PA) were measured. To determine the effect of silica fume (SF) and …

Cement paste with natural sand content and the effect of silica fume (SF), class C fly ash
(FA) and blast furnace slag (BFS) on the thermal conductivity and compressive strength of …

The growing European interest on building sustainability has driven the establishment of the
2012/27/UE Directive. Mortars with thermal conductivity lower than 0.2 W/m· K (thermal …

In order to fulfil the increasing demands of indoor comfort and energy efficiency

This paper studies the influence of two admixtures on expanded perlite aggregate concrete.
Both silica fume and fly ash were added as replacement for cement by decreasing the …

The effects of sand, high volume class C fly ash, blast furnace slag and both fly ash+ blast
furnace slag on the thermal conductivity were studied. In addition, influence of these mineral …

It is important to know how different superplasticisers (SP) types affect the rheological
properties of foamed cement pastes and influence the physical and mechanical properties of …

The main objective of this study was to investigate the potential utilization of polyethylene
terephthalate PET waste in cementitious matrix, as substituent to cement, to develop …

This study was carried out to determine the possibilities of using tragacanth and pumice
aggregate in lightweight concrete producing. The samples were produced with mixture …

The article presents the preparation and testing of packed bed (PB) material to be used as a
thermal energy storage (TES) device. The proposed TES device will be used to store the …
