✦ Synopsis

The steady-state temperature field distribution beneath a vertically insulated slab is derived using the Interzone Temperature Profile Estimation (ITPE) technique. A water table is considered at a finite depth below the soil surface. The heat flux variation along the slab is discussed as well as the effect of vertical insulation length and value on the total heat losses from the slab-on-grade floor. It is shown that when the depth and/or the thermal resistance of the vertical insulation increases, slab heat loss decreases following the law of diminishing returns. The water table level was found to have a significant eRect on total slab heat loss.

A steady-periodic solution for the heat conduction problem under a slab-on-grade floor adjacent to another slab is presented. The two slabs can be uninsulated or uniformally insulated. A water table is assumed to exist at finite depth from the soil surface. The interzone temperature profile estimati
