    Investigation of the thermal and acoustic performance of perlite- based building materials
    (European Journal of Technique (EJT), 2016-12) Oktay, Hasan; Argunhan, Zeki; Doğmuş, Recep
    Perlite is a siliceous volcanic glass that provides heat and sound insulation, whose volume can expand substantially under the effect of heat. Perlite ore is one of the most important mineral resources for Turkey where holds a large portion reserves in the world. Evaluation of perlite in building industry, which has advantages in terms of heat and sound insulation, will make an important contribution to the national economy. In this context, experimental investigations are performed for obtaining new concrete types with relatively high strength, low density and good thermal and acoustic properties for energy efficient buildings. For this purpose, 6 sets and different types of concrete samples were prepared with a constant watercement ratio, and normal aggregates replaced by expanded perlite aggregates at different volume fractions such as 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% of the total aggregate volume. Mechanical and thermal tests were all conducted and the hot disk method was used to establish thermal property values of concrete samples. The results of the experimental studies show that the compressive strength and density decreases, while highly increases the heat and sound insulation features with increasing in perlite content. As a result, it was found out that the reductions in thermal conductivity [Wm–1K–1] and ultrasonic pulse velocity [km/s] of the produced samples reached to 75% and 35%, respectively.

    Investigation of the thermal performance of high insulation building materials by using light-weight aggregates
    (Dicle University, 2016) Oktay, Hasan; Argunhan, Zeki; Doğmuş, Recep
    Perlite is one of the most important mineral resources in Turkey where a large part of world reserves was estimated to be found in. Perlite is a siliceous volcanic glass that provides heat insulation. When it is expanded, it's volume increases about 30 times of the original volume. Despite the fact that Perlite is used in different areas, the most common usage is seen in the construction sector. In this context, experimental investigations are performed for obtaining new concrete types with relatively high strength and good thermal properties for energy efficient buildings. For this purpose, 6 sets and different types of concrete samples were prepared with a constant water-cement ratio, and normal aggregates replaced by expanded perlite aggregates at different volume fractions such as 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% of the total aggregate volume. Mechanical tests were all conducted and the hot disk method was used to find thermal conductivity values of concrete samples. As a result of experimental study, it was found out that the reductions in thermal conductivity of the produced samples reached to 75%. As a result, with suitable ratio usage of expanded perlite aggregate was understood to be effective on the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of perlite aggregated light weight concrete and the relations between the mechanical and thermal properties were determined.
