This paper presents the results of research on influence perforation and slits water vapour diffusion expanded polystyrene (EPS) size number perforations thermal conductivity EPS board. The was conducted using numerical models (control volume methods) with varying sample thickness, slit spacing, depth diameter perforations. model showed that it is possible to obtain up 42.18 % better compared b...

To maintain the life of building materials, it is critical to understand hygrothermal transfer mechanisms (HTM) between walls and layers inside walls. Due extreme instability weather data, actual data models HTM—the being collected for buildings using modern sensor technologies—would appear be a great difference from any theoretical models, in particular, wood materials. In this paper, we aim c...

The adverse environmental impacts of building materials can be achieved by reducing the amount cement in cementitious composites, specifically when incorporating wastes as partial replacement for Portland cement. In this work, we substitute with shell by-products while keeping useful specific properties. Scallop shells are good candidates to replace part they contain calcium and available abund...
