Ensuring a Sustainable Structure and Efficiency of Thermal Insulation Straw-Boon Slabs in Full-Scale Conditions

Abstract

Abstract The paper addresses the criteria ensuring a sustainable structure and efficiency of thermal insulation straw-boon slabs in full-scale conditions. Sorption humidity of heat insulator and conditions for fungus build-up on the surface of plant-based filler have been studied. Additives providing high water resistance of silicate glass used as the binder for thermal insulation material have been determined. Tests considering an array of technological parameters and fire behavior of straw-boon slabs confirmed a sustainable structure in the process of installation of thermal insulation material and in case of fire.
