Abstract

A potential application of waste ceramic dust as cement replacement in lime-cement plasters is studied using both experimental and computational approaches. A comprehensive experimental analysis of the material properties of lime-cement plaster and three lime-pozzolan plasters containing different amounts of waste ceramics is performed at first. The results show that compressive strength of ceramics-containing plasters can be up to three times higher as compared with the lime-cement plaster but their thermal conductivity is higher as well. In the second part of the study, the hygrothermal and energy performance of a characteristic building envelope provided with the four analyzed plasters as surface layers is analyzed. The results of numerical simulations reveal that the application of waste ceramic dust in lime-pozzolan plasters does not have a negative effect on both the hygrothermal and energy performance of the building envelope, as compared with the use of lime-cement plaster. Taking into account the energy demand and environmental load related to cement production, the application of waste ceramic dust as a ready-to-use replacement of cement in lime-cement plasters represents the right step toward sustainable development.
