Thermal state analysis of energy saving structures of cast-in-place lightweight aggregate concrete walls

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is numerical study on the impact of location of cylindrical fillers made of insulating material on the thermal state and thermal protection properties of the corner fragment of cast-in-place lightweight aggregate external wall. Solution of spatial thermal conductivity problem was obtained and the effect of low-thermal-conductivity fillers location inside the corner fragment of a wall was analyzed using the software complex Ansys. The nature of temperature fields distribution was determined both inside the wall and in the inner corner of the structure. The method for temperature increase in the inner corner is suggested and its quantitative evaluation is performed. The effect of thermophysical and geometrical parameters of wall materials on its thermal insulation properties is analyzed.
