Research Progress on Thermal Properties of Aerated Concrete, Sintered Shale Brick and Composite Materials

Abstract

Currently, construction energy saving has been paid more and more attention in our country. Enclosure materials such as walls are important industries within the scope of energy saving of constructions, which makes the rational utilization of enclosure materials like walls particularly important. The energy consumption of construction industry is too high, and the thermal insulation performance of the wall still cannot alleviate the actual contradiction of energy saving of the current wall materials. To improve the thermal performance of wall thermal insulation, the thermal performance of sintered shale brick and aerated concrete are introduced in this paper. The research progress of aerated concrete and shale porous brick are sorted out, and the role of thermal performance of new wall materials on construction energy saving is comprehensively described through the analysis of their thermal performance data and the experiments of other scholars. Finally, the future development trend is predicted.
