Effect of microstructure on the mechanical and thermal properties of lightweight concrete prepared from clay, cement, and wood aggregates

摘要: Wood concretes of a clayey matrix are considered herein from the standpoint developing insulation materials through reliance on local resources and reusing industrial mineral wastes. Both mechanical thermal properties these depend heavily their microstructure and, in particular, porous structure which authors have identified initially. An experimental study compression resistance as well conductivity dry state at ambient temperature shows changes characteristics function porosity. A comparison with theoretical models previously tested for other types cellular has served to validate its application case wood matrix.
