Advancements in high performance aerogel concrete
Abstract eng: For the development of High Performance Aerogel Concrete (HPAC), silica aerogel granules were embedded in a high strength cement matrix. The tests on HPAC specimens achieved a remarkable correlation between thermal conductivity and compression strength. Compared to previous tests of Aerogel Concrete, the thermal conductivities of the HPAC specimens were considerable less over the full spectrum of the determined compressive strength up to 25 MPa and thus permit the application of Aerogel Concrete as a building material for single-leaf exterior walls for the first time. Beyond the suitability of HPAC for the production of graded walls was proved as well as the general feasibility for reinforced construction elements with GFRP reinforcement. In the following, the results from the investigations of the mechanical properties are reported as well as the building physics properties. Finally the results from the tests performed on the graded and the reinforced HPAC specimens are presented.
