Bubble Deck Concrete Slab: A Sustainable Thermal Insulation Concrete
The high thermal conductivity of concrete in Gulf countries can significantly impact the indoor areas of buildings, which can allow outdoor heat to penetrate the building envelope easily. This can lead to indoor temperatures that are excessively hot, especially during the scorching summer months in Gulf countries. As a result, indoor spaces may become uncomfortable and even intolerable for occupants. As the construction industry continues to strive for sustainable and energy-efficient building solutions, the utilization of waste materials for thermal insulation in concrete structures has gained significant attention. This research investigates the innovative use of waste shopping plastic bags, transformed into hollow spherical forms, to enhance the thermal resistance of Bubble Deck concrete slabs as a novel approach. Bubble Deck technology, known for its lightweight and structurally efficient design, is employed in conjunction with waste plastic bags to create a sustainable and thermally efficient construction material. The study encompasses a series of laboratory experiments, material analyses, and thermal performance assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of waste shopping plastic bag hollow balls into Bubble Deck slabs as thermal insulators within Bubble Deck slabs. The research was subjected to compressive strength of cube analysis, deflection of slab, and thermal resistance evaluations. In addition, finite element simulations like ANSYS software methods are used to conduct the model and predict the thermal behavior of the resulting concrete slabs under different environmental conditions. In this study, the heat flow for conventional and Bubble Deck slabs was compared and also compared load versus deflection. Finally, ANSYS software was used to compare all the results. The best way to construct structures to prevent the thermal flow of concrete is to use Bubble Deck slabs, which a comparison showed can resist 30% of the heat flow of concrete. The findings provide valuable insights into the environmental and performance benefits of this innovative construction methodology, advocating its adoption as a pivotal step toward advancing energy-efficient and sustainable construction practices.
