Improvement Of Heat Conductivity Coefficient Of Fly Ash-Based Geopolymer Brick By Substitution Of Blast Furnace Slag

TL;DR: In this paper , the effect of blast furnace slag substitution on the heat conduction coefficient of fly ash-based geopolymer bricks was investigated, and it was observed that the heat conductivity coefficient decreased with the increase of blast furnaces slag, sodium hydroxide, and calcium hyroxide substitution.

Thermal Performance of Compressed Blocks Made from Construction and Polyurethane Foam Waste

TL;DR: In this article, two mixtures were defined considering the percentages of 2.5 and 5% of polyurethane foam waste in compressed blocks and the results showed that an increase in the percentage of foam waste leads to an improvement of the thermal behaviour.
