employed lightweight porcelinite coarse aggregate, metakaolin, and silica fume to enhance the strength of LWC. They discovered that an optimal percentage of both metakaolin and silica fume (around 14%) improved the properties of high-strength lightweight aggregate concrete compared to ordinary lightweight aggregate concrete.
Concrete. In Building Materials in Civil Engineering, 2011. 1 Lightweight Aggregate Concrete. All kinds of light concrete that are made by light coarse aggregates, light fine aggregates (or ordinary sand), cement and water are known as lightweight aggregate concrete. According to the types of aggregates, lightweight aggregate concrete can …
Artificial lightweight aggregate can bring advantages to the construction field due to its lower density, thus reducing the dead load applied to the structural elements. In addition, application of artificial lightweight aggregate in lightweight concrete will produce lower thermal conductivity. However, the production of artificial lightweight ...
2.1. Lightweight Aggregate. Lightweight aggregates (LWA) are specified in international standards like EN 13055 [], ASTM C330M [], ASTM C331M [], and ASTM C332 [].The ASTM standards distinguish between LWA for structural lightweight concrete [], LWA for the application in masonry lightweight concrete [] and LWA for insulating …

The incorporation of lightweight aggregate in place of conventional aggregate in autoclaved concrete usually results in the reduction of density owing to their lower specific gravity. A similar trend was detected by Kurama et al. [111] when CBA replaced quartz sand. The study was conducted for two curing periods: 8 h and 18 h and …
An important question always is how much this will cost. Lightweight aggregate concrete is about $20 to $30 per cubic yard higher than a normal weight mix. For internal curing, you may only be replacing …
The pore mechanism of -based geopolymer is found to be different from that of lightweight aggregate-based geopolymer. This variation results in different physico-mechanical and durability properties such as better insulation properties (and lower thermal conductivity) for -based versus better mechanical properties for lightweight ...
As the demand for nonrenewable natural resources, such as aggregate, is increasing worldwide, new production of artificial aggregate should be developed. Artificial lightweight aggregate can bring advantages to the construction field due to its lower density, thus reducing the dead load applied to the structural elements. In addition, …
Poor mechanical behavior of lightweight aggregate concrete limits its application. To improve this situation, nano-silica (NS) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were used in this study. The impact of NS and CNTs on fresh and mechanical properties, general microstructure and interfacial transition zone (ITZ) of lightweight aggregate concrete ...

Internal curing uses water-filled lightweight aggregate to supply water to counteract the effect of self-desiccation after the initial pore structure of the paste has formed. This project evaluated the shrinkage cracking performance and fluid transport properties of mixtures containing internal curing. This thesis describes how chemical ...
Lightweight Aggregate (LWA) Minergy's LWA production facility was constructed as a means to beneficially reuse coal combustion fly ash from a power plant located in Oak Creek, Wis. LWA was commercially produced between 1994 and 2000, at which time the properties of the fly ash changed as a result of a new source of coal, thus allowing the fly ...
This is demonstrated in Figure 3. The pozzolanic reactivity of a lightweight aggregate based on sintered fly ash such as Lytag also depends on both reactivity of the fly ash and temperature level and duration of the sintering. The firing temperature of lightweight aggregates, which is typically 1200°C, may cause recrystallization, thus ...
Crushed pozzolan was used as lightweight aggregate (LWA) and natural sand was used in all mixes to produce a lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC). Fresh …

This guide includes a definition of lightweight-aggregate concrete for structural purposes and discusses, in a condensed fashion, the production methods for and inherent properties of structural lightweight aggregates. Current practices for propor-tioning, mixing, transporting, and placing; properties of hardened concrete; and the design of ...
Due to the presence of pores in the LWAs, the weight of high-strength lightweight aggregate concrete (HSLAC) is 20–40% lower than conventional concrete, with density values of less than 2000 kg/m 3 [5] and 28 day compressive strength higher than 40 MPa [6]. To prepare high performance HSLAC, three strategies have been used: …
