Green and low-carbon materialization for dredged sediment (DS) is limited due to its low pozzolanic activity. In this study, a novel DS-based non-sintered lightweight aggregate (LWA) is developed by steel slag (SS) and fly ash (FA) activation. Process optimization is performed by the response surfaces, and the basic properties and …

Lightweight aggregates (LWA) are defined as construction materials that have a bulk density lower than that of common construction aggregates (Choudhry and Hadley, 2009 ). It is possible to manufacture LWA and ultra LWA from gasification slag and fly ash, according to Choudhry and Hadley (2009) and Sloss (1996).
Lightweight aggregate (LWA) Lightweight aggregate is increasingly sought after, particularly for use in the precast concrete industry, where it is used in a range of construction products. The resulting reduced weight of concrete components made using LWA aids off-site manufacturing and brings significant advantages during both …
normal-weight coarse aggregate was replaced with the apricot shell lightweight aggregate at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and , respectively. The flexural strength of apricot shell light-
The aggregates used for making concrete are normally of the maximum size 80 mm, 40 mm, 20 mm, 10 mm, 4.75 mm, 2.36 mm, 600 micron, 300 micron and 150 micron. The aggregate fraction fro m 80 mm to 4.75 mm are termed as co arse aggregate and those fraction from 4.75 mm to 150 micron are termed as fine aggregate.

Manufacturing lightweight aggregate from pulverised fuel ash has been a highly successful ash reuse application. The drivers and barriers to the beneficial reuse of waste ashes are described, and these can be significant, particularly if the ash is classified as hazardous waste. Research on lightweight aggregate production using pulverised fuel ...
Natural lightweight aggregate materials—prepared by crushing and sizing natural rock materials such as pumice, scoria, tuff, breccia, and volcanic cinders. 2. Manufactured structural lightweight aggregates—prepared by pyro processing shale, clay, or slate in rotary kilns or on traveling grate sintering machines. 3.
The results indicated that the structural light weight aggregate concrete produced from local porcelinite aggregate is suitable to used as a structural concrete, it can produce structural light ...
Introduction. Lightweight Aggregate Concrete (LWAC) has been utilized over a long period of time. The first known construction to use LWAC is more than 2000 years old …
Current design methods for structural lightweight aggregate concrete (SLWAC) are usually only valid for a limited range of concrete compositions that have previously been subjected to trial tests. The SLWAC mix design is more complex than that of normal weight concrete as more parameters need to be determined. Taking this into …
In this research, butyl rubber is used to replace the coarse aggregate in the manufacture of light-weight concrete. The butyl rubber was replaced partially as 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%, respectively.
See EPA's PDF page to learn more. This document presents EPA's rationale in withdrawing a specific waste generated in the production of lightweight aggregate from the federal Mining Waste Exclusion. This waste, which is comprised of air pollution control () dust and sludge, was one of many mineral processing wastes that was made ...
Lightweight aggregate is a type of coarse aggregate that is used in the production of lightweight concrete products such as concrete block, structural concrete, and …
The less weight of light weight concrete is due to the usage of fine and course lightweight aggregate. When the complete aggregate is replaced with lightweight aggregate, the weight decreases the concrete density of by approx. 10 kilogram per cubic meter. For Example, 1 square foot of 1.5-inch thick normal concrete weighs about 18 pounds.
From the work results, it can be concluded that the coarse lightweight aggregate of porcelanite, pumice and composite aggregates can be used instead of natural aggregate (gravel) to make structural lightweight concrete with densities of less than 2000 kg/m 3 and this less than the corresponding natural aggregates concrete by the range of (25% ...
Lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) is a lightweight granular material, which can be used as an ideal backfilling geomaterial attributed to its porous particles.

Lightweight aggregate concrete manufactured by solid waste or recycled by-products is a burgeoning topic in construction and building materials. It has significant merits in mitigating the negative impact on the environment during the manufacturing of Portland cement and reduces the consumption of natural resources.
When these are considered then LWAC becomes cheaper and attractive. The life cycle cost of the concrete is another consideration for calculating long-term savings on maintenance costs. Purchase Lightweight Aggregate Concrete - 1st Edition. Print Book & E-Book. ISBN 9780815514862, 9780815518204.
