The aim of the present work was to investigate thermal properties a new building material consisting mixture plaster and peanut shells for use as insulating materials in building. are commonly measured by using steady state asymmetric hot plate method, asymmetrical transient method flash method. experimental study that we have conducted, enabled us determine conductivity, effusivity diffusivity our material. influence size mass fraction shell shards on thermophysical tested material,...

The measurements of thermal effusivity, conductivity and specific heat building materials such as clay used in construction have been performed using transient steady state hot-plate methods. estimation these characteristics is based on the simplified 1D model. Stationary models are to estimate λ capacity ρc, respectively. use a brick insulating material requires prior knowledge all its properties. For that purpose, authors conducted an experimental study order characterize properties sample...

This work is a contribution to understand the thermal behavior of composite material based on granular cork embedded in plaster. An experimental investigation its properties was mainly performed using Flash method and tiny Hot Plate steady state regime. will allow compare with those plaster for motivate proposal that this be used as false ceiling. A comparison energy performances made; it allows deducing very interesting gain. The preliminary findings indicate better than term insulation,...

It is often difficult to directly obtain specific design parameters of interest. In these situations, estimation based on empirical correlations an alternative. The deformation modulus a rock mass, which important know for engineering projects, measured by in situ tests, such as plate bearing, flat jack, pressure chamber, borehole jacking and dilatometer tests. Nevertheless, tests are expensive, time consuming sometimes even impossible. Many attempts have been made estimate the E using...

For the purpose of resisting to hard climatic condition and so as improve insulation building material in Ben Smim Ifrane region, we proceeded this work develop local materials, clay is a very used walls or floor The goal consists thermal properties bounded with granular cork compared same expanded perlite. first step study chemical characterization by means X-ray diffraction. results show that sample mainly made up Illite/ muscovite which non-swelling clay. second perlite using methods: Hot...

The present research focuses on the development and thermomechanical characterization of unfired solid bricks based clay (white red) Timahdite sheep wool, which are local, durable, abundant, economical materials. As this material is incorporated with wool in form yarn multi-layers opposite directions. It achieves good thermal mechanical performance a lightness these as acquired progress. This new method reinforcement offers significant thermo-mechanical for composite insulation sustainable...

This work is part of the development local materials such as clay and fiber alfa in north Morocco. These are abounding, natural renewable, they have thermal properties very interesting. Our objective to study effect on characteristics based materials. For this reason we mix (chosen base material) with different percentages fibers (0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%).Then compare thermo physical new material those only, motivate proposal use insulation rural construction. comparison energy performance...

Developing construction materials with high thermal performance will reduce significantly energy consumption of the building. This research aims to characterize insulation a new multilayer building material using asymmetrical hot plate in transient and steady state regime. based on composite clay-cork consolidated an internal external layer cement mortar. A comparison experimental results theoretical models equivalent conductivity is established. Finally, evaluation cost/ effectiveness...

The study presented in this article explores a comprehensive analysis of humidification-dehumidification (HDH) seawater desalination system integrating heat pump for heating intended distillation, and incorporates additional condensation plates supplied with cold seawater. This was the subject an experimental investigation to simultaneously evaluate energy performance thermal behavior unit, focusing on wall temperatures, as well stratification temperatures humid air inside unit compared...

This work is part of increasing the profitability a system sea water desalination, single stage, held at laboratory scale, using method Humidification Dehumidification (HDH) handset, instantaneous (shorten up HDH cycle). essentially an experimental approach which consists on studying new combination based use plate condenser cooled by and envelope ambient air, subsequently, we test effect changing depth impact connection quantity distilled water. The temperature free evaporation surface was...

This work is part of the valuation local materials such as clay (earth), alfa fiber and straw fiber. The goal to use these bricks in rural construction. These are abundant, natural, renewable. objective this study thermal mechanical behavior a new material by mixing (chosen binder) with different mass percentages (0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%), compare results those often used construction individual houses Morocco (clay + straw). obtained prove us that using fibers can reduce conductivity compared...

Reducing the energy cost of building has become a necessity, that's why this work was carried out to study behavior thermal inertia and properties for walls coated by sealants: white cement-cork, cement mortar -cork plaster-cork. For purpose time diffusion, total heat capacity losses were defined local composed from layer those binders. Also an analysis conductivities, effusivities diffusivities composites cement-cork plaster-cork studied.

This work is an investigation of the energy efficiency, thermal behavior and impact carbon a new multilayer material composed ecological additives cork wool. For this purpose, total capacity building was determined, transmittance between wall concrete done, emission CO2 evaluated simulation using TRNSYS done to calculate consumption from material.

Cork is an ecological, natural, and renewable additive, excellent thermal acoustic insulator. All these attributes encourage its use in the building sector. Adding this additive to Earth leads a more lightweight composite with better performance than alone. Unfortunately, mechanical of degraded significantly, limiting construction applications. The authors propose study stabilize clay-cork using natural stabilizers. A chemical stabilization was tested local quick-lime, addition physical...
