Innovative Infrastructure SolutionsAbstract Due to their inherent brittleness, ceramic materials are prone to breakage, generating significant waste stream. This has driven research into repurposing the waste materials for various applications. Processed ceramic waste has been extensively studied in the past as a substitute for cement or sand to produce cementitious composites ...

Study of the Use of Vacuum Insulation as Integrated Thermal Insulation in Ceramic Masonry Blocks
Procedia Engineering, 2016 AbstractVacuum insulation panels (VIP) are thermal insulation materials with very low thermal conductivity. VIPs are commonly used in a broad spectrum of technical fields; however, they only see a small-scale application in civil engineering. The reason is mainly their high price and difficulty of installation.
