Abstract

Partially and fully sunken effect on slab-on- grade structures are reported, using silica sand as a simulating media in thermal simulation method for estimating the ground losses. The method has been used to determine the shape factor; which can be used to evaluate the heat loss to the ground for slab-on- grade.  The accuracy of the method has been evaluated by comparing the experimental result obtained for a sphere with the corresponding analytical results.

Keywords
