In this study, block elements with diatomite, which have different aggregate granulometries
and cement contents, were produced and the effect of these parameters on physical and …

This article is devoted to studying the feasibility of using Moroccan diatomite as replacement
of sand in mortars. The principal objective is to value the use of this type of lightweight …

In this study, experimental investigation is performed for producing new cement-based with
relatively high strength, low density and good thermal properties for energy efficient …

Thermal conductivity of the materials used in buildings is one of the major factors affecting
the heat transfer. Higher thermal conductivity of building walls results in higher heat losses …

The present research was designed to determine thermal properties of concrete
manufactured by two different categories of coarse aggregates. For this rationale ninety six …

Diatomite in its natural form possesses low reactivity and is a weak material. Calcination rids
of the burnable elements and enhances the properties of diatomite. This research studies …

The trend and the market of thermal mortars increased in recent years in both new and
thermal retrofitting of building facades mostly due to their enhanced thermal performance …

This study reports the influence of moisture content and temperature on the thermal
properties of lightweight aggregate concretes. Seven types of coarse and fine lightweight …

The results of investigations on thermal and mechanical properties of lightweight aggregate
concretes according to mixture parameter are reported. Seven types of fine and coarse …

There is an increasing trend towards developing thermal insulating lightweight concrete (TI-
LWC) for structural applications. This is fueled by the desire to conserve energy and …
