“…The use of scrap tires in concrete is conferred and has been an advantageous method to solve these major recovery and recycling problems of scrap tires to safely and economically dispose of them and to improve the heat insulation, acoustic and elastic properties of concrete (Khaloo et al, 2008;Aiello and Leuzzi, 2010;Pelisser et al, 2011;Bravo and de Brito, 2012;Son et al, 2011;AlTayeb et al, 2013). Particularly, measurements of the thermalinsulation performance showed significant improvements in the insulation properties of the new concrete-scrap tire mixture structures (Yesilata and Turgut, 2007;Turgut and Yesilata, 2008;Yesilata et al, 2009;Corinaldesi et al, 2011). Yesilata and Turgut (2007) tested thermal properties of the rubberized concrete structure and found that the insulation performance of the rubberized concrete improved by 14.7% compared to the conventional concrete structure.…”

Abstract:Straw is an inevitable product of cereal production and is available in huge quantities in the world. In order to use straw-bales as a building material, the characteristic values of the thermal performances should be determined. To not lose the benefits of the cheapness and sustainability of the material, the characteristics must be determined with simple and inexpensive means and procedures. This research aims to implement tools and methods focused at the determination of the thermal properties of straw-bales. For this study, the guidelines dictated by ASTM and ISO were followed. A measurement system consisting of a Metering Chamber (MC) was realized. The MC was placed inside a Climate Chamber (CC). During the test, a known quantity of energy is introduced inside MC. When the steady-state is reached, all the energy put into MC passes through its walls in CC, where it is absorbed by the air-conditioner. A series of thermopiles detect the temperature of the surfaces of the measurement system and of the specimen. Determining the amount of energy transmitted by the various parts of MC and by the specimen, it is possible to apply Fourier's law to calculate the thermal conductivity of the specimen.

“…Some researchers found that the most important aspects of novelty might be the development of integrated insulation products such as waste polymer added mortars, concretes and bricks [77]- [79]. As a part of this interest, establishment of an appropriate thermal test technique is also a challenge for developing and manufacturing of such products [80].…”

Abstract-In general, the quantity of plastics of all types consumed annually all over the world has been growing in a phenomenal way. The manufacturing processes, service industries and municipal solid wastes (MSW) generate numerous waste plastic materials. The increasing awareness about the environment has tremendously contributed to the concerns related with disposal of the generated wastes. It is believed that the management of solid waste is one of the major environmental concerns in the world. Due to limited space on landfills and increasing costs of plastics, utilization of waste plastics has become an attractive alternative for disposal. This paper provides a summary of experimental efforts on the utilization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) in civil engineering projects, mainly in road pavement, cements and concretes. Presented data indicate that use of waste PET for modification of asphalt, cement and concretes improved their selected properties, which makes economical this approach. Furthermore, using of waste PET in building materials reduce usage of new polymeric materials, which has significant effect on environment pollution (e.g. emission of carbon dioxide, waste disposal problems, etc.) Index Terms-Bitumen, building materials, concrete, PET, recycling.
