This paper deals with the contribution of expanded polystyrene (EPS) particles on fire
resistance, thermal conductivity and compressive strength of foamed concrete. The foamed …

The research focused on the development of an ultra-lightweight cementitious composite
with both excellent mechanical and thermal insulating properties. Fly ash cenosphere (FAC) …

In presented paper, the influence of expanded perlite waste on the properties of autoclaved
aerated concrete (AAC) was investigated. Expanded perlite waste was used as a quartz …

The mechanical behavior of a new composite material used in building construction is
studied in this work. The composite panel results of combination of a calcium sulfate …

The article is devoted to assessing the effectiveness of hydrophobic and air entraining
admixtures based on organ silicon compounds. Mortars with lightweight clay aggregate …

An admixture of lightweight aggregate substrates (beidellitic clay containing 10 wt% of
natural clinoptilolite or Na-P1 zeolite) with used motor oil (1 wt%–8 wt%) caused marked …

Lightweight concrete is being used in the construction industry as a building material in its
own right. Ultra-lightweight concrete can be applied as a filler and support material for the …

The Selene perlite ore deposit of northeastern Sonora, Mexico, lies at the southern edge of
an extensive (85× 35 km) assemblage of Early Oligocene-Miocene volcanic rocks. This fault …

Abstract [eng] Perlite is the mineral of volcanic origin. Expanded perlite has good heat
insulation and sound absorption properties. It is light, resistant to fire, moisture and micro …

In the twentyfirst century, there has been remarkable achievements in green material
technology by the development of building insulation materials. Using the plant-based …
