In this study, we discuss about the energy saving in different type of building walls by using optimum insulation thickness with suitable insulation material. The energy saving is maintained by reducing the energy consumption in buildings. Heat losses from building envelope have a major share in waste of energy. So it is essential to save the energy by using optimum insulation thickness. The in...

The energy efficiency of buildings drives the replacement traditional construction materials with lightweight insulating materials. However, energy-efficient but combustible insulation might contribute to building’s fire load. Therefore, it is necessary analyse reaction-to-fire properties various provide a better understanding designing fire-safe structure. In this study, tests were carried out...

Usually, the corn cob is considered an agriculture waste. This natural and organic waste material may be used in the industry, in general, and in the building industry, in particular. The work presented in this paper was developed in order to give a contribution to the knowledge of this material, by attempting to describe and assess its macrostructure and microstructure, elementary chemical com...

In the last decades, EPS (expanded polystyrene) and XPS (extruded have become most frequently used thermal insulation. Furthermore, has step resistant insulation with higher strength. Nowadays in our current economic situation, circular economy plays a significant role. That means we need to intend making product that becomes waste as late possible. Instead of product, goal is return it basic m...

Abstract Fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites, also known as textile mortars (TRM), an inorganic constituting fibre fabrics and cement-based mortar, are becoming a widely used composite material in Europe for upgrading the seismic resistance of existing concrete (RC) frame buildings. One way providing is through application proposed FRCM system on masonry infill walls to incr...

In this study, optimum insulation thicknesses are calculated for three different flat-surfaces which navigable terrace roof; stone-covered and soil-covered un-navigable flat roof types. The outdoor temperature, the value of January, is coldest month in winter, July, hottest summer, solar radiation, considered together. Flat surfaces to be black painted marble. Firstly, solar-air temperatures we...

Abstract Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites, also known as textile-reinforced mortars (TRMs), represent a new advancement in structural repair and reinforcement technology. Aiming to improve the energy efficiency seismic performance of existing buildings, this research focused on development an FRCM system combination with phase change materials (PCMs) extruded polystyrene ...

Seasonal Sensible Thermal Energy Storages based on existing inside structures are cost effective and require insulation materials with high performance. The must endure temperatures pressure for a long period. In this study, the creep effects of material XPS (extruded polystyrene foam) at investigated to determine whether is suitable be applied STES. Two studies were conducted: an isothermal lo...

With the Government of China's proposed Energy Efficiency Regulations (GB40411-2007), the implementation of external insulation systems will be mandatory in China. The frequent external insulation system fires cause huge numbers of casualties and extensive property damage and have rapidly become a new hot issue in construction evacuation safety in China. This study attempts to reconstruct an ac...
