Abstract

Thermal characteristic of insulation concretes is one of the key components in materials selection especially in civil constructions. In this article, non–tabulated material parameters of some innovative highly-insulating non-structural concretes are presented. The specific volumetric heat capacity, specific heat capacity, parameter of temperature diffusivity and thermal mass parameter of the innovative highly-insulating cementitious composites were determined. The experiments were conducted using a prototype automated calorimetric chamber. The measurement results are compared with those obtained by using a commercial multifunctional instrument (Isomet 2114) and are accompanied by the measurement of other significant thermal parameters of the cementitious composites under investigation. The results indicated that there is potential of using the newly created types of concrete for insulation purposes.
