Materials with high energy storage capacity can enhance efficiency of buildings further than thermal insulation alone. The use microencapsulated paraffin wax Phase Change (PCM) in cement-lime mortars cellulose fibres and lightweight aggregates (LWA) is a promising solution for this purpose. In study, experimental techniques as flux heat meters ultrasonic pulse transmission are used to evaluate the performance five 20% PCM, LWA (perlite) under different conditions. A climatic chamber was...
Phase change materials (PCMs) are promising for the energy efficiency improvement of building enclosures, due to their storage capacity. The thermal behaviour a multi-layered enclosure with five different compositions PCM cement-lime mortars was evaluated under heating and cooling cycles. 20% microencapsulated mixed other additions, such as cellulose fibres perlite, lightweight aggregate (LWA), were studied climate conditions 15 °C-82% RH (cooling) 30 °C-33% (heating) that applied climatic...
Los hormigones autocompactables (HAC) presentan muchas ventajas respecto a las mezclas convencionales debido su facilidad de puesta en obra y fiabilidad ejecución, reduciendo el trabajo obra. Sin embargo, la mayor cantidad pasta requerida para conseguir una mezcla autocompacta, que implica uso gran material tamaño partícula reducida, hace los HAC sean propensos sufrir problemas derivados unas condiciones curado adversas. El adiciones como Microsílice Nanosílice con alto contenido filler...
El uso de Hormigones autocompactantes (HAC) se ha incrementado durante los últimos años. Su comportamiento a edades tempranas (ET), junto su facilidad colocación aporta ventajas constructivas para la industria del hormigón encofrado in situ. Las propiedades autonivelantes y capacidad distribuirse con por acción propio peso sin sufrir segregación obedecen al incremento finos reducción tamaño partículas en mezcla. adiciones como el filler calizo, nanosílice, microsílice, metacaolín incrementa...
