Abstract:

In the paper the results of an experimental program intended to determine factors influencing the impact resistance of the External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) were presented. For the research the systems based on polystyrene have been chosen. The insulation material was faced with a rendering consisting of base coat reinforced with standard or armored glass fibre mesh and silicone or silicone-silicate binders as finishing coats. The influence of various renderings components was evaluated with respect to resistance to hard body impact and resistance to hail. The test results were discussed in the context of the possible impact level on ETICS in use.

Abstract:

Moisture is one of the most deteriorating factors of buildings. The moisture content depends on hygroscopic equilibrium between buildings materials and environment, which is determined by the drying and wetting rate of masonry. So, the moisture content is not only determined by the water that is absorbed by the material, but also by the amount of water that is evaporated under favourable conditions, which is described by the drying process. In this work we analyse the drying kinetics of External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) using a first-order and a second-order drying kinetic models to describe mass transfer phenomenon. The results show that the second-order kinetic models described well the drying process studied. The application of kinetics models to the experimental results was explored and several parameters were retrieved. A proposal for the use of these parameters is presented and its practical use is discussed.

Abstract:

External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS), mainly comprised of expanded polystyrene (EPS) as the insulating material, have been used to insulate facades of buildings for the past few decades. In Europe, waste from ETICS deconstruction is currently disposed of in waste incineration facilities or landfills. Although the current quantities of ETICS waste are small, disposal of the increasing quantities of waste is posing a problem in some countries. New recycling strategies, such as the physico-chemical recycling of EPS or reutilisation of material and energy of all ETICS components in cement plants, offer the possibility of a circular economy for ETICS waste in the future. However, this would require a waste management chain from the construction site to the utilisation plant with appropriate waste treatment. To assess this concept further, this study documented dismantling efforts at different construction sites and conducted large-scale trials for ETICS waste treatment. The results of this study will allow the selection of suitable processing units and will be applied in a model developed by the IWARU Institute to determine economically and ecologically advantageous waste management routes that can be used to handle ETICS waste in the future.

Abstract:

This paper is the research output of the laboratory ageing of external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS). This was carried out in order to study the changes in properties of systems consisting of combustible and non-combustible thermal insulation materials, and four different types of finishing renders. Four types of the widely used, thin-layer facade rendering systems were subjected to hydrothermal cycles in a climate chamber in conformity with ETAG 004 guidelines. Analysis of the physical and mechanical properties (i.e., variation of temperature, water absorption, bond strength and mechanical resistance) of four types of ETICS are presented. This study indicates that there are no visible defects on any renderings over the junctions between polystyrene foam (EPS) and mineral wool (MW) materials when applied in ETICS.

Abstract:

This paper analyzes the resistance to hail of external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS), i.e., external thermal insulation of foamed polystyrene with the same finishing coat and various reinforcing mesh and base coats used to make the reinforced layer. The manuscript presents our own new method for assessing ETICS resistance to hail and test results obtained according to this method. The basic premise of the presented new research methodology is evaluation of the thermal insulation system surface damage and fracture toughness, in the function of hit velocity with a polyamide ball with a standardized diameter and weight. The results of hail resistance tests were compared with the values of hard body impact resistance obtained in the tests done according to ETAG 004. Results obtained by the new method help to evaluate precisely the resistance of thermal insulation sets to damage as a result of impact of heavy objects of permanent shape, with greater accuracy than the hard body impact test. They also confirmed that thermal insulation sets with dispersion adhesive in the reinforcement demonstrate greater resistance to damage as a result of hail impact than the sets with cement-based adhesives and that weight of the reinforcing mesh used in the system is not significant to affect the hail resistance.

Abstract:

External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) are often used in Europe. Despite its thermal advantages, low cost, and ease of application, this system has serious problems of biological growth causing the cladding defacement. Recent studies pointed that biological growth is due to high values of surface moisture content, which mostly results from the combined effect of exterior surface condensation, wind-driven rain, and drying process. Based on numerical simulation, this paper points the most critical parameters involved in hygrothermal behaviour of ETICS, considering the influence of thermal and hygric properties of the external rendering, the effect of the characteristics of the façade, and the consequences of the exterior and interior climate on exterior surface condensation, wind-driven rain, and drying process. The model used was previously validated by comparison with the results of an “in situ” campaign. The results of the sensitivity analyses show that relative humidity and temperature of the exterior air, atmospheric radiation, and emissivity of the exterior rendering are the parameters that most influence exterior surface condensation. Wind-driven rain depends mostly on horizontal rain, building’s height, wind velocity, and orientation. The drying capacity is influenced by short-wave absorbance, incident solar radiation, and orientation.

Abstract:

External thermal insulation systems (ETICS) are relevant facade applications of functional components allowing to reduce energy consumption in buildings to fulfill the provisions of nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (nZEBs). ETICS systems generally are made of adhesives, thermal insulation material, renders with mesh reinforcement, primers, and finish coats. Their main parameters are thermal characteristics and durability, both determined by the specific composition of the systems. Growing concerns on the environment and depletion of natural resources drive the need for the determination of the environmental characteristic of ETICS due to its growing market demand. This analysis focuses on a life cycle assessment (LCA) of a commonly used EPS based ETICS system with four different renderings, produced in several locations. The scope of this study concerns raw materials extraction, transport, production, and energy provision up to the finished, packed, and ready-for-sale product at the factory gate. The authors compared the environmental impact allocated to the 1 m2 of the produced system by taking into account the thickness of EPS and within different environmental impact categories. The results of the current impacts were compared to those obtained five years earlier, considering the technological and environmental progress of the production process.

Abstract:

The objective was to gain the fire characteristics of the External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS), which is widely used in China. A series of large-scale fire experiments were conducted under ISO 9705 room test on the ETICS with its core of polystyrene (PS) foam and its outer layer of plastering mortar. The various thicknesses (3 mm and 5 mm) of the outer layer were considered. Under the fire source impact and the melting behavior of PS foam, the flame evolution of ETICS could form a flowing fire and cavity fire, which was obviously different from that of thermal insulation panel itself, but similar to the sandwich panels. A detailed analysis was performed to quantify some major parameters, such as the heat release rate (HRR) and temperature distribution. The results indicated that the peak of HRR could be reduced 11.34% and put off 94 seconds by the thicker outer layer (5 mm); similarly the peak of HRR could be reduced 22% and put off 190 seconds by the flame-retardant treated.

Abstract:

External insulation is the most widely used technique in Northern and Continental Europe. This technique generates thermal bridges where the building facade has some projecting element like balconies. The thermal requirements of actual standards lead to restore the continuity of the insulation at the interfaces by using thermal break systems (TBS). They are usually made of a box containing the insulation material, and a minimalist structural system able to transmit the shear force and the bending moment from the balcony to the wall. In most cases, structural elements are made of stainless steel, as it is less heat-conducting than normal steel. The paper focuses on a specific TBS, that uses shear keys and steel profiles to ensure the transfer of forces. TBS are also submitted to important horizontal cyclic shear deformations, provoked by the variations of the dimensions of the balconies due to climatic effects. The objective of the study presented in the paper is to show that significant yielding under these cyclic actions can be accepted during service life. First experimental cyclic loading tests have been performed in order to characterize the behaviour of the TBS, as well as its fatigue strength. Then the loading has been defined on the basis of the database of the ECA&D, the European Climate Assessment and Dataset. Finally, the fatigue resistance of the system has been verified. It is shown that the developed TBS can resist to fatigue loading for large lengths of balconies, while exhibiting significant yielding during service life.

Abstract:

<p>This paper investigates the thermal resistance of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) composites using different fillers of low thermal conductivity. The development of new concrete for energy saving facilities is more demanding for climate change threat to human. The use of UHPC composite with expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads as well as different fillers of low thermal conductivity has shown a viable option of architectural sandwich walls of insulation. The optimum fillers of thermal resistance for UHPC are determined by the tradeoff of compressive strength between heat conductivity. Better thermal properties of some UHPC composites make lower compressive strength of UHPC. To evaluate the varying thermal and mechanical characteristics of UHPC composites with the quantity of fillers, the method of volumetric substitution for UHPC was investigated in this paper. The UHPC composite of thermal resistance with comparable compressive strength can be possibly used for concrete blocks to transfer flexural compression force in efficient thermal breaker systems. Test results show that the strength of the concrete is greatly influenced by the curing method and the most important factors affecting the strength of concrete are curing temperature and curing time. Structural UHPC walls of thermal resistance serve as both load transfer and barrier to external temperature. To investigate the mechanical behavior of composite sandwich panels, the panels for the study are fabricated by new concrete as core and face sheets and the influence of the three components – the mechanical properties of the core material, the strength of the face sheet material, and the bond strength adhesive material – was evaluated. The flexural capacity of the specimens UHPC with EPS core showed high strength in a stable linear behavior before core cracking.</p>
