Investigation of the insulation performance of lightweight concrete with silica aerogel additives produced using volcanic tuff waste

Investigation of the insulation performance of lightweight concrete with silica aerogel additives produced using volcanic tuff waste
AI Summary

Researchers have developed a lightweight concrete using volcanic tuff waste and silica aerogel to improve thermal insulation. The study found that higher aerogel content significantly reduces unit weight and thermal conductivity, though it also decreases compressive strength.

Why it matters

This research offers a sustainable path for construction materials by repurposing industrial waste into energy-efficient building components.
