A thermal conductivity measurement technique has been developed based on a novel design employing an ultrafine (0.02 cm dia) “traversing” thermocouple. This technique features the rapid determination of thermal conductivity as a function of temperature for specimens operating in the range from 300 up to 1200 K. In contrast to conventional “comparative” methods of thermal conductivity measurement, the present approach requires only one equilibrium condition, viz., the condition in which the specimen is maintained between the two temperature extremes of interest. The traversing-thermocouple measurement technique also permits the accommodation of a wide range of specimen sizes (e.g., 0.25 to 1.3 cm in diameter and 0.7 to 3.0 cm in length) and measurements accurate to within 5 to 7 percent. Although initially developed for use with semiconductors, the measurement technique is equally well suited to semimetals, metals, and insulators.

The aim of this investigation was to find the relationship between different percentage of damage and thermal conductivity of concrete. The influence of different damage on thermal conductivity of concrete was determined. The method with insulation (ordinary method) based on the temperature difference measurement between two surfaces of specimen, when one of the surfaces is heated, was used for thermal conductivity measurement. Three specimens for every percentage of damage were used for each measurement of thermal conductivity. After this research one conclusion can be made definitely: influence of different percentage of damage on thermal conductivity of concrete.
