Mix design of light-weight self-compacting concrete
Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2016 In recent decades, the utilization of mineral and chemical admixtures in concrete technology has led to changes in the formulation and mix design which has, in turn, made the concrete stronger and more durable. Light weight concrete (LWC) is an excellent

An Experimental Study on Effect of Concrete Type on Bond Strength of GFRP Bars [PDF]
Journal of Rehabilitation in Civil Engineering, 2021 One of the common methods to create bond strength in reinforced concrete is providing development length. The bond strength of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bar is inherently poor due to its shape, as well as its inadequate mechanical ...

Microstructure characterization of sustainable light weight concrete using trapped air additions.
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2022 Light-weight aggregate and trapped air additions (TAD) affect concrete performance and lead to the production of light-weight concrete (LWC). In this research, fourteen mixes were designed to study the effects of TAD type and content and pozzolanic ...

Study on the performance of GFRP strengthened, fiber reinforced lightweight foam concrete [PDF]
Građevinski Materijali i Konstrukcije, 2022 Regular clay bricks and concrete blocks are replaced with light-weight fibre-reinforced foam concrete modules. For light weight foam concrete, various natural and synthetic fibes are employed as micro- and macro-fibre reinforcement. Three distinct fibres

Mechanical properties of lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) concrete
Przegląd Naukowy Inżynieria i Kształtowanie Środowiska, 2022 The construction activities are based on structural concrete, which is one of the most commonly used materials. The fundamental aim of using lightweight concrete (LWC) was to reduce the concrete self-weight of the structure parts.

Behaviour of Steel-Concrete-Steel Sandwich Beams with Novel Enhanced C-Channels
Buildings, 2023 As the load increases, most composite beams generally experience failure in both shear and flexural behavior. This outcome highlights the critical challenges of achieving sufficient strength and structural integrity in such beams.
