Characterisation of thermal delay of light concrete blocks made on expanded clay

Objective

The project proposes the characterization of thermal delay of light concrete blocks made on expanded clay in order to improve the characteristics of construction blocks from three main points of view. BUILDING MATERIAL: the development of improved building materials by testing different granulometries and agglomeration process design dimensions of blocks BUILDING MATERIALS STANDARDISATION: the standardization of the thermal delay of light concrete materials by comparing under standard conditions. ENVIRONMENTAL: the use of a material allowing Improvement of energy requirements in building Use environmental friendly materials Reduction of plastics in building as insulation materials Main Factors affecting Temperature Delay are:
-> Characteristics of the material employed in the manufacture of the blocks
-> Structural dimensions of the block, i.e. thickness, structural hollows, forms and dimensions. The design of the blocks as well as the materials employed are of fundamental importance in order to obtain an as higher temperature delay as possible but using a single material and isolation layer.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
