| Abstract: | Perlite concrete is a combination of litemix, normal aggregate, sand, portland cement and water. By varying the ratio of litemix in pertlite concrete its thermo-acoustical behaviour steadily improves. The paper describes in detail the thermal and acoustical properties of Perlite concrete with different ratios of litemix and cement. Thermal conductivity and sound transmission loss values of the material has been determined at the Central Building Research Institute, Roorkee. Measurement process for these properties has also been described in this paper. Results show that as we increase the litemix ratio, its thermal properties improves slowly then up to a certain ratio its improvement is optimum at (3.5) keeping the sound insulation values within desired limits. Beyond this ratio the bulk density becomes low and compressive strength diminishes below the desired values. |
