Study of Lightweight Concrete for Roof Insulation Materials
This paper presents an experimental study to determine the thermal transmittance of various types of lightweight concrete with an objective to assess the applicability of lightweight concrete as a roof insulation material. The lightweight concrete ranging in density from 400 kg/m3 to 1700 kg/m3 was investigated. The results were also compared with normal weight concrete. It was found that the expanded clay aggregate concrete with density of 700 to 900 kg/m3 had adequate insulation property and enough strength to be applied without the use of surface tiles. Lightweight concrete with Perlite provided better insulation than expanded clay aggregate concrete. Because of its lower in strengths, Perlite concrete required the use of surface tiles to permit maintenance access to roof.
