THE EFFECT OF MOISTURE ON THE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF AERATED CONCRETE.

Author(s) : STUCKES A. D., SIMPSON A.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF FIVE SPECIMENS OF AERATED CONCRETE VARYING IN DENSITY FROM 390 TO 900 KG/M3 HAS BEEN MEASURED AT SEVERAL MOISTURE CONTENTS BETWEEN 0.2 AND 7% VOLUME. IN GENERAL, THE MOISTURE FACTORS WERE FOUND TO BE DENSITY DEPENDENT AND TO INCREASE WITH DECREASING CONDUCTIVITY. A GENERAL EXPRESSION HAS BEEN DERIVED RELATING THE MOISTURE FACTOR TO BOTH DENSITY AND MOISTURE CONTENT BY VOLUME OVER THE RANGE 0 TO 5%.
