The use of novel thermal-efficient building materials and technologies that allow increasing the level of thermal protection of external envelope structures and reducing the time for construction are of practical interest and represent a relevant task in the conditions of rapidly changing and increasing requirements to energy efficiency of buildings. This research aims at simulating the process of spatial heat transfer in a multilayer non-uniform structure of an external cast-in-place framed wall produced from polystyrene concrete with a stay-in-place formwork. Based on the physico-mathematical model developed with the use of ANSYS and COMSOL software complexes, parametric analysis of the impact of various factors on thermal behavior of the external wall was performed with the account of heat-stressed frame elements. The nature of temperature fields distribution in a polystyrene concrete structure was defined, and its thermal protection properties were investigated. The impact of a metal frame on thermal protection properties of a wall was found to be insignificant.
Abstract. The purpose of this paper is numerical study on the impact of location of cylindrical fillers made of insulating material on the thermal state and thermal protection properties of the corner fragment of cast-in-place lightweight aggregate external wall. Solution of spatial thermal conductivity problem was obtained and the effect of low-thermal-conductivity fillers location inside the corner fragment of a wall was analyzed using the software complex Ansys. The nature of temperature fields distribution was determined both inside the wall and in the inner corner of the structure. The method for temperature increase in the inner corner is suggested and its quantitative evaluation is performed. The effect of thermophysical and geometrical parameters of wall materials on its thermal insulation properties is analyzed.
