Abstract

It is intended with the research work here presented to contribute to the scientific knowledge regarding the incorporation of C&D and polyurethane foam wastes in compressed blocks. Two mixtures were defined considering the percentages of 2.5 and 5% of polyurethane foam waste. Fly ash was used as a precursor and the two mixtures were activated with a solution based on sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate. Experimental work was carried out to assess the blocks thermal performance. Experimental measurements allowed determining indoor and outdoor temperatures, heat flux and inner surface temperatures. The data acquired allowed to estimate the values of the thermal transmission coefficient. It was concluded that an increase in the percentage of polyurethane foam waste in the composition leads to an improvement of the thermal behaviour. Values of 2.93 and 2.57 W/m2 °C were estimated for the percentages of 2.5 and 5%, respectively, presenting higher values of thermal resistance when compared with a common solution of ceramic solid block with the same dimensions.
