The use of perlite in civil engineering applications

Abstract In the last years, research applications in construction sector have taken a different turn due to rapid urbanization and necessity protect environment create balance between natural built environments. Taking into account fact that thermal efficiency of buildings has an important influence over environmental performances sector, civil engineering specialists tried develop use new solutions order improve this essential building characteristic. Thus, materials been used with goal reducing overall transmittance envelope elements total energy consumption needed for heating cooling. Perlite is one considered developing efficient applications. The main present paper all relevant developed consider perlite as component part. study first part more extensive program takes under evaluation possibility using insulating material constructions.
