The aim of this paper consists on the improvement of thermal properties and lightness of gypsum plaster by combining it with granular cork collected from Moroccan Maamora’s forest. This composite material is intended to be used in false ceiling such as cork–gypsum board instead of plasterboard; its use will be a contribution to improve energy efficiency in buildings. By varying the granular cork size, an experimental investigation of thermal proprieties of gypsum based composite material with embedded granular cork was mainly performed using the asymmetrical transient Hot Plate method. A comparative study based on other experiments (Differential Scanning Calorimeter and Steady state Hot Plate) was realized and the thermal conductivity results were confronted to different theoretical models of equivalent thermal conductivity determination. The experimental results exhibit a good agreement with the weighted geometric mean equation.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mounir, Soumia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maaloufa, Youssef</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">bakr Cherki, Abou</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khabbazi, Abdelhamid</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thermal properties of the composite material clay/granular cork</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Construction and Building Materials</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clay cork</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ecological composition</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Flash method</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hot plate method</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">70</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">183-190</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clay is a building material used for construction in a lot of cities in Morocco. For the contrast of the energy efficiency, authors try in this work to improve the thermal properties of clay by combining it with cork, using the asymmetrical hot plate and the flash methods. Also they study the effect of the variation of volume fraction cork on clay. Finally a comparison of the thermal transmittance was done between this research and the study of asdrubali (evaluating in situ thermal transmittance of green buildings masonries-case study) in order to evaluate the energy gain from this composite.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
