An approach for Measuring Thermal Conductivity of Bricks using Transient Hot Wire method

  Jyoti Rani1,  K.J.Singh,  Ramvir Singh

The methods of earth building materials are commonly classed in eco construction processes. In these objectives the earth materials have to demonstrate ecological qualities both in their production and building techniques but also on their thermal and hydric balances. The building techniques of earth material have been largely discussed and normalized. The material cohesion is assumed by the clay mineral matrix often added of some percents of lime or cement. Mechanical resistances are due to the clay matrix cohesion which acts as cement between the sand grains and compactness of the clay sand assemblage which reduces the volume of micro porosity by decreasing the micro pore sizes.
