DRYING LIGHT-WEIGHT CONCRETE SLABS

Chemical Engineering Communications, 1986
To study unsteady state problems of heat and mass transfer in concrete pavements, which are generally considered to be fine porous media, both relevant material characteristics and transport properties must be considered simultaneously. A system of nondimensional differential equations for heat and mass transfer in porous media is derived and used to ...

Torsional Strengthening Of Normal Weight Concrete And Light Weight Concrete Using Steel Fibres

Materials Today: Proceedings, 2017
Abstract Forces that twist a member about a longitudinal axis are called torsional loads. Modern day structures using conventional concrete which are tall and aesthetically pleasing is in need of torsional strengthening. In this study, torsional behaviour of normal weight concrete (NWC) and light weight concrete (LWC) is analysed.

Instantaneous deflection of light-weight concrete slabs

Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering, 2017
Construction loading before the age of 28 d can have the most significant effects on the slabs, especially for multi-story structures. The changing properties of the young concrete complicate the prediction of serviceability design requirements also. An experimental investigation is performed on four simply supported Light-Weight Concrete (LWC) one-way

Light weight steel fibre reinforced concrete: A review

Materials Today: Proceedings, 2020
Abstract Steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) could be a stuff that can decrease brittleness of concrete and can increase the malleability. SFRC is employed extensively to line the tunnels and alternative underground structures, to extend the thickness of pavements, and to repair and strengthen various structures.

Durability Performance of Structural Light Weight Concrete

2018
An attempt has been made to ponder the durability characteristics of basic lightweight concrete, which can be used for structural purpose manufactured by substituting coarse totally in volume by lightweight totals viz., Cinder and LECA solid evaluations.

Light Gauge Steel-Light Weight Aggregate Concrete Structure and Application

Advanced Materials Research, 2012
Light gauge steel-light weight aggregate concrete structure is a new type of structure system. This paper introduces the composition, characteristics and production and installation process of this kind of structure. For the Da Yunhe villas, as an example, this paper presents the structure detail and analysis method, and gives the bearing capacity and ...

Light Weight Concrete Using Light Weight Expanded Clay Aggregate and Dry Saw Dust

2020
The dynamic nature of concrete to be shaped into an assortment of structures along with its ability to withstand tremendous compressive loads has made it the most widely used construction material of this era. Light weight concrete is characterized with a lower density than normal concrete viz two-third of normal concrete.

Energy absorption potential of light weight concrete floors

Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 2012
This paper investigates the energy absorption potential offered by light weight concrete (LWC) floors, perhaps when a building is poised to collapse from some extreme loading event. It is assumed here that the failure of LWC structural floor slabs would likely result in both break-up and pulverization of the concrete.
