Moisture fixation and thermal properties of lime–hemp concrete
Highlights Two lime–hemp mixes that can easily be reproduced were studied. Sorption isotherms over the whole moisture range were determined for lime–hemp concrete. Sorption isotherms included hysteresis. Thermal properties were determined with a transient plane source method.
Abstract Lime–hemp concrete (LHC) is a sustainable building material that combines hemp shiv and building limes. Moisture fixation and thermal properties of LHC were determined so as to gain knowledge about the material’s behaviour in a cold, wet climate. Sorption isotherms were produced over the whole moisture range for two LHC mixes by means of glass jar tests and a pressure plate apparatus. Thermal properties were determined for the mixes at different relative humidities using a transient plane source method. The results showed relatively low thermal conductivity and a steep sorption isotherm in the interval between 95% and 100% RH.
