Abstract
This study tackles temperature-induced cracks in contemporary concrete by addressing their low thermal conductivity. Heat-conductive concrete was developed by using graphite-modified recycled coarse aggregates. Through thorough evaluation of coating methods and aggregate types, we enhance thermal conductivity of recycled aggregates by up to 86 % while improving apparent density, water absorption, and crushing value. Employing a one-pot method (Method B) with the graphite to cement ratio of 1:1 establishes an efficient thermal pathway within concrete, resulting in a significant 1.9-fold increase in thermal conductivity without compromising mechanical properties. Advanced imaging techniques and simulations confirm the pivotal role of this pathway in enhancing thermal properties, offering a cost-effective, eco-friendly solution for sustainable construction.
