THE EFFECT OF SAND PARTICLE SIZE ON THE THERMAL INSULATION EFFICIENCY OF CEMENT CONCRETE
ABSTRACT This study was aimed at investigating the effect of sand particle size on the thermal insulation efficiency of cement concrete. Standard laboratory methods were employed in carrying out this study. The study revealed that sample D, with the radius of 2.8 x 10 –4 m has the highest thermal insulation efficiency value of 29.60% and sand sample A, with the radius of 3.5 x 10 –4 m, has the lowest thermal insulation efficiency value of 0.32%. This implies that…
