Thermal and Drying Cyclic Loading for Cement Based Mortars and Expanded Polystyrene Foam Layers
The results of the experimental investigation of the developing expansion and contraction strains of both plastering mortar and Expanded Polystyrene Foam (EPS) coatings, during thermal and drying cyclic loading are presented. The mortar used, is cement based with hydrated lime and fine marble aggregates. The EPS specimens were cut from boards of various qualities, appropriate for the external insulation of buildings. Mortar and EPS specimens were subjected to temperature cyclic changes, during which the occurring expansion and contraction strains were recorded. Based on these data, assumptions were made for the nature and the mechanism of the growing strains, in order to collect the necessary information to develop solutions for the critical problem of mortar cracking when applied over EPS insulating boards.
