An experimental study on thermal conductivity of concrete
TLDR
In this paper, the QTM-D3 conductivity tester developed in Japan was used to investigate factors influencing thermal conductivity of concrete, mortar, and cement paste, and seven testing variables such as age, water-cement (W/C) ratio, types of admixtures, aggregate volume fraction, fine aggregate fraction, W/C ratio, temperature, and humidity condition of specimen were adopted in this test.About:
