Development of Advanced Masonry Structures with Utilization of Alternative Thermal Insulating Materials

Abstract:

There has been increased effort for achieving enhanced properties of brickwork for external cladding of buildings, in particular as regards thermal insulation. This trend is caused by various factors, while the most important one is general aiming at reduction of energetic demand of buildings (within EU connected with the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council 2010/31/EU) and aiming at reduction of energetic demand of production of construction materials and building structures. The price of the products themselves is also important, because it determines their competitive strength in the market. One of the ways of development of thermal insulation brickwork with enhanced end-used properties with low price and minimal demands for material resources is use of secondary raw materials with low value of thermal conductivity. The paper describes possibilities of using granulated PUR material manufactured from water PUR foam used for production of thermal insulation form-pieces with integrated insulation layer.
