Ponts et charpentes Résumé : Some preliminary studies, dealing with the process optimisation of pre-cast building elements made of Lime and Hemp Concrete (LHC), have shown that compression during casting lead to significant improvements: better mechanical characteristics and facing. However, this compaction leads to an increase of the weight to volume ratio and to a decrease in porous volume. Thus, the amount of entrapped air inside material, which contributes to decrease the thermal conductivity, is lower. Our data actually show a slight increase in thermal conductivity when compactness increases. The goal of this study is to compare the effect of compaction during casting on both mechanical and thermal characteristics of hardened specimens in order to evaluate the relevance of such a process.
