Aerogel-Incorporated Concrete: An Experimental Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Lightweight concrete can be prepared by replacing the normal aggregate of concrete, either partly or totally, with lightweight materials. In this work, by incorporating silica aerogel particles into concrete matrix, we ... -
Experimental Investigations of Aerogel-Incorporated Ultra-High Performance Concrete
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Improvements to concrete will have a large impact in the construction and building sector. As the attention is drawn towards energy-efficient and zero emission buildings, the thermal properties of concrete will be important. ... -
Fatigue Resistance of Double Sealant Composed of Polyisobutylene Sealant Adjacent to Silicone Sealant
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)With the aid of current sealant technologies, a double sealant comprising adjacent silicone and polyisobutylene sealants may be used to enhance the durability of buildings. The inner silicone sealant is quite durable owing ... -
Hygrothermal Properties of Compressed Earthen Bricks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The present study investigates the relationship between bulk density and hygrothermal behaviour of compressed earthen bricks. The experimental results show that the thermal conductivity linearly increases from 0.5228 W/(m ... -
Sealant Aging and its Correlation with Facade Reflectance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)A highly reflective facade may enhance the durability of sealant joints. This study investigates that reflective facades reduce thermal movement loading to sealant joints due to less fluctuations of surface temperature, ... -
Thermal Conductivity of Cement Stabilized Earth Blocks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The present study examines the effect of bulk density and cement content on the thermal conductivity of cement stabilized earth blocks (CSEB). The experimental results show that the thermal conductivity increases as a ...
