The effect of compressive stress on thermal and hygric properties of Portland cement mortar in wide temperature and moisture ranges

Apparent thermal conductivity approach at high-temperature measurements of porous materials

“…Therefore, all chemical decomposition reactions and phase-change processes taking place at elevated temperatures affected the temperature measurements, thus the values of apparent thermal conductivity, in a significant way. For the fiber-cement composite material studied in this paper the most thermally induced processes were endothermic (see, e.g., the DTA analysis of Portlandcement mortar in [32]). Therefore, they effectively decreased the apparent thermal conductivity.…”

Effect of Moisture on the Thermal Conductivity of a Cementitious Composite

“…This is a logical result because the board-shaped inclusions should lead to results closer to the parallel model than to the serial model (taken from the point of view of mixing thermal conductivities in Eqs. (5)- (6), for the thermal resistances the serial-parallel orientation is naturally quite opposite, i.e. the serial model should be closer to the board-type inclusions).…”

Thermal and hygric expansion characteristics of mortars and bricks used in the dome structures of Turkish Baths from 14th and 15th centuries

“…Although there are several studies on the basic physical, mechanical properties and raw material characteristics of mortars and bricks used in historical dome structures [3,[6][7][8][9] and several authors have studied the thermal and hygric expansion characteristics of contemporary cement mortars, lime mortars and plasters [10][11][12][13], the research on the thermal and hygric expansion properties of mortars and bricks used in the dome structures of historical buildings is non-existent in literature to the extent of authors' knowledge.…”
