Experimental data-informed modelling of the thermal characteristics of a point connection with and without structural thermal breaks (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study aimed to develop a reliable in-situ evaluation method to capture parameters needed for thermal modelling of the point thermal transmittance and use them to calibrate the finite element thermal simulation. Farrat's structural thermal breaks... Read More about Experimental data-informed modelling of the thermal characteristics of a point connection with and without structural thermal breaks.
