Abstract
The authors used a testing program in order to determine the thermal r esistance of terra-cotta walls; built with vertical hollow bricks. The se bricks could be standard ones, so cavities were 25 cm high, or they could reach 250 cm (story-height bricks). Different hollow shapes wer e tested under different boundary conditions on temperature. The autho rs tried to determine for this class of bricks used in France, the mos t performing outline, from a thermal point of view, under different bo undary conditions.
