Development of Load-Bearing Thermal Insulation Recycled Concrete Block and Research on its Thermal Performance

Abstract:

A new kind of 310mm thick load-bearing thermal insulation block utilizing construction waste as coarse aggregate was developed and produced. Internal thermal bridge is reduced by special design of holes pattern and cut off by mal-posed thermal insulation layer arrangement. By testing heat transfer coefficient of four kinds of masonry walls, different aggregate type, masonry unit type and insulation material which affect thermal performance of masonry were studied. Results show that heat transfer coefficient of walls with recycled aggregates is lower than that with natural aggregates under the same condition. By filling thermal insulation material in block holes, heat transfer coefficient is dramatically lowered. Among four types of masonry walls, heat transfer coefficient of 310mm thick load-bearing block wall with recycled aggregate is the lowest, and its thermal insulation performance is the best.
