Resumen

In this study, the fixed water/binder ratio is 0.40, four mineral admixtures: fly ash (FA), blast furnace slag (BFS), desulphurization slag (DLS), and glass LED powder (GLP), were added to lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC), replacing 10% or 30% of the cement content, to study their heat insulation efficiency and engineering performance and to compare the economic impact of mineral admixtures on LWAC. In terms of heat insulation, the thermal conductivity (K value) of the controlled sample was 0.484 kcal/(m.h. °C) and the addition of mineral admixtures changed the concrete unit weight and water absorption ratio, thus reducing the K value by 0.41% to 25.71% and improving the heat insulation. As the mineral admixture hydration products and chemical contents differed, the heat insulation of the LWAC varied as well. The study indicated that the heat insulation is the greatest in concrete with the addition of 30% FA, followed by concrete with the addition of 10% GLP. The addition of mineral admixtures is 30%, the resistivity is 72?455% of the control group, and the resistivity of FA and GLP is higher than the control group. The study is indicated that the proper addition of mineral powder material has an apparent effect on increasing heat insulation efficiency.
