Abstract

Summary The purpose of this investigation was to determine various density foam concrete heat engineering properties. These properties are not included in valid construction standards [1]. Thermal conductivity of samples was determined at 25°C according to [2], specific heat—[3], vapour permeability—[4] and sorption moisture—[5]. Dry foam concrete thermal conductivity (W/m-K) dependency on its density is given in Fig. 1 as well as after mathematical statistical treatment using the regressive equation [1]. Foam concrete thermal conductivity dependency on its humidity statistical analysis results is given in Table 1, here ΔλW s and ΔλW t is the average absolute thermal conductivity increase for 1% materials moisture according to mass and volume, while and δW s δW t is the same increase, but in percentage value. Foam concrete thermal conductivity dependency on moisture is linear. The specific heat value for 245 and 840 kg/m3 density foam concrete is 980±50 and 850±50 J/kg·K respectively. The determined foam ...
