High early-strength Portland cement is expected in this type of technology, as it facilitates the delivery of the subfloor in a short period. However, the rapid hydration reaction makes the material susceptible to shrinkage, causing cracks that can affect the material’s strength. In this context...
The paper demonstrates that in general the radiant floor systems perform better than radiant ceilings in heating conditions and there is no evidence that dry floor systems perform better than wet screed systems in all the types of buildings regardless of the level of insulation and thermal inertia....
