Thermal Absorptivity

Thermal conductivity values at the temperature of 301-303K have been measured for Zea mays straw board as well as Zea mays heartwood (cork) board. Comparative study of the thermal conductivity values of the boards reveal that Zea mays heartwood board has a lower thermal conductivity value to that of the straw board. The study also shows that the straw board is denser than the heartwood board. Specific heat capacity value is less in value for the heartwood board than the straw board. These parameters also affect the thermal diffusivity as well as thermal absorptivity values for the two types of boards. The result favours the two boards as thermal insulators for thermal envelop but with heartwood board as a preferred insulation material than the straw board.

Foamed Concrete

The addition of mesocarp fibre as a bio-composite material in foamed concrete can be well used in building components to provide energy efficiency in the buildings if the fibre could also offer excellent thermal properties to the foamed concrete. It has practical significance as making it a suitable material for building that can reduce heat gain through the envelope into the building thus improved the internal thermal comfort. Hence, the aim of the present study is to investigate the influence of different volume fractions of mesocarp fibre on thermal properties of foamed concrete. The mesocarp fibre was prepared with 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60% by volume fraction and then incorporated into the 600, 1200 and 1800 kg/m3 density of foamed concrete with constant cement-sand ratio of 1:1.5 and water-cement ratio of 0.45. Hot disk thermal constant analyser was used to attain the thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity of foamed concrete of various volume fractions and densities. From the experimental results, it had shown that addition of mesocarp fibre of 10-40% by volume fraction resulting in low thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity and high the thermal diffusivity of foamed concrete with 600 and 1800 kg/m3 density compared to the control mix while the optimum amount of mesocarp fibre only limit up to 30% by volume fraction for 1200 kg/m3 density compared to control mix. The results demonstrated a very high correlation between thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity which R2 value more than 90%.

Volumetric Content

The number of researches on steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) fire resistance is insignificant. For the calculation of building structures for fire resistance, it is necessary to use the thermophysical characteristics of concrete: thermal conductivity, heat capacity and thermal diffusivity. The physicomechanical characteristics of SFRC depend on the volumetric content of the fiber in it. This paper presents the results of studies of thermophysical properties of SFRC. The studied SFRC had a high-strength self-compacting cement-sand matrix and a different percentage of fiber content (from 0 to 6%). The experiments were carried out for SFRC with steel wavy fiber 15 mm long and 0.3 mm in diameter. As a result of experimental studies, it was discovered that with an increase in the volumetric content of the fiber, a decrease in the values of heat flow, thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity coefficients, specific heat capacity is observed and the thermal resistance of SFRC increases.
