Thermal characterisation of a lightweight mortar containing expanded perlite for underground insulation

Author(s): D. B. Apel, V. Bindiganavile, W. V. Liu

Perlite was added to mortar in order to determine if the resulting composite was more thermally insulating than conventional shotcrete. This study was conducted to determine if shotcrete in which ...

Thermal characterization of a lightweight mortar containing expanded perlite for underground insulation

Author(s): D. B. Apel, V. Bindiganavile, W. V. Liu

The shotcrete technique is a method used to pneumatically spray concrete at mine openings to provide insulative working environments. This study tested the thermal conductivity of Expanded Perlite Aggregate (EPA) ...
