The Effect of Expanded Glass and Expanded Clay Aggregate Additives on Water Vapor Diffusion Based on Wet Cup Method in Cementitious Lightweight Mortars for Sustainable Buildings

Sakarya Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü Dergisi
Water vapor permeability is the ability of a material to allow vapor (such as water vapor or any gas) to pass through it. Water vapor permeability also indicates the breathability of the material.

Thermal conductivities of expanded shale and clay lightweight aggregates

, 1987
This report presents the results of a field evaluation of the thermal conductivity of lightweight clay and shale-based aggregates from stockpiles exposed to outdoor climate conditions. The data indicated that conductivities as low as 0.1 W/m.K may be expected for coarse aggregate.
