Measurement of the Thermal Properties of Innovative Highly-Insulating Non-Structural Concretes Milena Kušnerová1,a*, Marta Harničárová1,2b, Jan Valíček1,2c, Zuzana Palková1,2,d, Zdenko Tkáč2,e, Anton Panda3,f, Jan Kmec1,g and Ondrej Lukáč2, h 1Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Technology, Institute of Technology and Business in České Budějovice, Okružní 10, 370 01 České Budějovice, Czech Republic 2Technical Faculty, Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra, Tr.
Thermal characteristic of insulation concretes is one of the key components in materials selection especially in civil constructions.

The activities are multidisciplinary and have involved both engineers (structural and industrial) and architects (urban planner and specialist in historical buildings).
For these reasons both technical community (engineers, architects, economists) and academic national community were involved at different levels.

The study achievements indicate a new clue for approaching the formation mechanism and developing mode of rainstorm-induced road hazard, and are of value to disaster prevention and reduction in road engineering.
Therefore, engineering analysis applied in practice relies essentially on the systematic interpretation of the formation mechanism of splash-wash process in the road.
