Production of Heat-Insulating Concrete Hollow Block

Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development
Hollow concrete blocks are primarily used in residential buildings, factories, and multi-storied construction. The main goal is to produce a new insulation block from lightweight concrete by mixing light expanded clay aggregate (LECA) at a specified ...

Behaviour of Interlocking Hollow Concrete Blocks [PDF]

International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development, 2018
India is one of the highly populated countries of the world. It ranks the second in population next to China. Besides this, major section of the people live below poverty line. Due to over population, poverty, high land value and house deficit, major cities like Delhi and Mumbai are covered by slums.

Analysis of Heat Transfer Phenomena inside Concrete Hollow Blocks

Journal of Building Material Science, 2022
During both hot and cold seasons, masonry walls play an important role in the thermal performance between the interior and the exterior of occupied spaces. It is thus essential to analyze the thermal behavior at the hollow block’s level in order to better understand the temperature and heat flux distribution in its structure and potentially limit as ...
