Study of Thermal Technical Properties of Lightweight Concrete with Utilization of Non Stationary Hot-Wire Method

Abstract:

This paper describes the results of research that was focused on the study of thermal insulation properties and behaviour of lightweight expanded clay aggregate concrete. During the research it was carried out a determination of the thermal conductivity on a series of test samples with different volume weight and different mechanical properties. Determination of the thermal conductivity coefficient at lightweight concrete is quite difficult due to high in homogeneousness of the tested material being result of high open structure. Stationary and non-stationary measurement methods were used to determine the thermal insulation properties, which were reviewed for their relevance to the application.
