Join us at the International Thermal Conductivity Conference (ITCC) and the International Thermal Expansion Symposium (ITES).
In an effort to lessen the Urban Heat Island effect, aggregate in road wearing course was replaced in varying amounts with sintered clay or recycled ceramic. The physical and thermal properties of these new mixtures were then examined to determine if they showed improvements over traditional wearing course. It was found that the replacement of aggregate with sintered clay decreased the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity. A similar result was ...
