| | Summary: |
| | Nowadays, understanding thermophysical behaviour of reinforced concrete
elements is important even in the field of structural engineering, because of the
increasingly tightening building energy performance regulations and environmental
awareness. Additionally, thermal behaviour plays a major role in fire resistance design
and evaluation of structures. This paper presents a comparative analysis of the thermal
properties of reinforced concretes. We have collected the thermophysical properties
(thermal conductivity and diffusivity) from relevant and selected national standards and
literature, and compared them with our laboratory measurement results on reinforced
concretes and steel fibre reinforced concretes. During the study, we discuss the
similarities and differences between various standards and literature, including the
presentation of our experiments. This research could further contribute to the
development of fire resistant reinforced concrete elements and environmentally
conscious structural designs. |
