The Effects of Anisotropic Insulations with Different Spatial Distributions on Material Properties of Mortar Specimens

Abstract Insulating concrete is a material designed to reduce heat conduction with pores/insulations, and these pores strongly affect the material characteristics. In general, the insulation effect is directly proportion to the pore volume, while the material strength decreases as the porosity incre...
