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

Replacement of Conventional Concrete by Light Weight Concrete
International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology, 2021 Abstract: Lightweight concrete (LWC) allows for larger spans, fewer piers, and longer bridge designs due to its lower weight and improved durability. Because superstructures with broader shoulders or additional lanes may be improved without requiring extensive work on the substructure, LWC is a particularly desirable construction material at the moment.

Experimental Analysis of Light Weight Concrete
International Journal of Advances in Scientific Research and Engineering, 2018 Background/Objectives: Lightweight concrete is widely accepted due to its low density. LECA is an artificial lightweight aggregate made of clay having very low specific gravity. It is possible to develop lightweight concrete using LECA with a dry density of 1200 kg/m3 up to 1450 kg/m3.

Surface Modification of Autoclaved Light Weight Concrete
Journal of the Ceramic Association, Japan, 1987 Surface properties of commercial autoclaved light weight concrete (ALC) having 1.1nm-tobermorite as a major constitutional mineral were investigated. The effective field strength of the ALC surface was determined as 6.6×105e.s.u./cm2 from the slope of linear relation between heat of immersion (hi (sl)) and dipole moment of immersing media.

AN INVESTIGATION ON THE PROPERTIES OF GEOPOLYMER LIGHT WEIGHT CONCRETE
INTERANTIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT, 2023 The large-scale production of cement is posing environmental problems on one hand and unrestricted depletion of natural resources, on the other hand causing greenhouse effect and global warming. Each ton of Portland cement production results in loading about one ton of CO2 in to the environment.
