Feb 6, 2004 #2 30odd6 Chemical Feb 3, 2004 4 Incropera and DeWitt (Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer) list the following values for cement mortar. Thermal conductivity = .72 W/m K Density = 1860 kg/m^3 Specific Heat = 780 J/kg K I assume that the references in this book could also point you to more information about other building materials.
