The negative impacts of cement-based material (CBM) production are way bigger than ever
expected. To illustrate the scale of this phenomenon, all the forests in the world, regardless …

The thermal conductivity (k-value) of cement-based materials like concrete is an important
factor when considering the amount of heat transfer through conduction. The amount of heat …

Heat island phenomenon rises the temperature of cities, increases the energy demand for
cooling and deteriorates comfort conditions in the urban environment. To counterbalance …

The main objective of this study is to provide more data on the effects of expanded perlite on
the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of lightweight concrete. In the …

Asphalt pavements absorb and store more heat than natural surfaces. Thus, high
temperatures are emitted from conventional asphalt pavements, subsequently releasing …

Thermal conductivity of coarse aggregate, cement mortar as well as concrete were
measured by means of a guarded hot plate apparatus and/or a transient plane source …

Experimental work was carried out to develop information about the properties of glass
aggregate concrete reinforced with chopped basalt fibre. Recycled waste mixed colour glass …

In this study, experimental investigation is performed for producing new cement-based with
relatively high strength, low density and good thermal properties for energy efficient …

Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) has widely been utilized as a lightweight, porous
insulation material for energy-efficient buildings. The knowledge on the thermal conductivity …

Low energy consumption buildings is one of effective responses to the challenge of climate
change. Lightweight cement-based composites with excellent thermal insulation and …
