Version of Standard Specifications for Concrete Structures was established in 2008. Our task is to prepare the English version of four Specifications: ‘Design,’ ‘Materials and Construction,’ ‘Maintenance’ and ‘Dam Concrete’ of the 2007 edition of JSCE-SSCS.
A concrete wall in the living room is a solution that is not only durable, but also very elegant. What's more, concrete on the living room wall can be perfectly combined with other materials or design elements. Ask us for more.
Mass concrete is defined in ACI 116R as “any volume of concrete with dimensions large enough to require that measures be taken to cope with generation of heat from hydration of the cement and attendant volume change to minimize cracking.”
ASHRAE Standard 90.1 defines a mass wall as one with a heat capacity exceeding: 7 Btu/ft2 °F (45.2 kJ/m2.K), or. 5 Btu/ft2 °F (32.2 kJ/m2.K) provided that the wall has a material unit weight not greater than 120 lb/ft3 (1,922 kg/m3). This criteria clarifies that most lightweight concrete masonry.
THERMAL MASS - BEST PRACTICE GUIDELINES FOR HOUSING In warm climates, the thermal mass in concrete and masonry helps provide a comfortable living environment and reduce overheating problems, whilst in cooler climates it can be used to absorb solar gains and reduce the need for heating energy. As the basic design requirements for both seasons
14 cze 2023 · Mass concrete is any volume of concrete with dimensions large enough to require that measures be taken to cope with the generation of heat from hydration of the cement and attendant volume change to minimize cracking.
15 cze 2021 · Concrete, adobe walls, and rammed earth all have a high thermal mass rating above 1,300. We measure the thermal mass of a structure as the heat capacity per unit of volume, or, in other words, the volumetric heat capacity (VHC).
