Description
Summary:Light weight - thermal insulation concrete has a growing demand in energy efficient building. It can be used in places where there is a requirement for thermal insulation in the form of tiles and weathering coarse for roof as well as in places where there is a need for thermal lining. For the preparation of light weight - thermal insulation concrete, a cement replacement mix consisting of Silica fume, Metakaolin, Egg shell powder, Alccofine were used along with different particle sizes of Cenospheres as a fine aggregate replacement. The test concrete samples were tested for their physical and mechanical parameters like compressive strength and its thermal conductivity were investigated. The light weight - thermal insulation concrete has a reliable compressive strength and a satisfactory thermal insulation property.
