description |
This research presents an investigation of a new lightweight concrete for
construction materials which composed of cement, sand, expanded polystyrene, and
wastage materials such as fly ash, silica fume, rice husk and sawdust which react as
admixtures in the mix proportion. Thermal conductivity and density of the samples will
be investigated. Thermal conductivity is a measure of the effectivity of the material in
transmitting heat through it. The result obtained shows that the thermal conductivity
value reduces with the increment addition of wastage materials in the lightweight
concrete mix proportion. The wastages satisfy the basic requirement of insulation for
construction materials and could be used for wall, slab and roof. Hence, with this
finding it shows that it has good potential for development progress for low cost
construction. Finally, apart of being a good insulation materials which save energy
consumption for the building, this research also has provide an alternative to reused the
wastage from the industries in order to reduce the rate of pollution. |
