Effect of Microsilica Additive on Compressive Strength and Water Absorption of Lightweight Concrete [PDF]
Concerning the issue of the seismicity of Iran and the effect of structure weight on the amount of earthquake load exerted on the structure, there is the need for stylization of structures in order to reduce the costs of designing and repairing ...

Reinforcing Mechanisms of Coir Fibers in Light-Weight Aggregate Concrete [PDF]
Due to the requirement for developing more sustainable constructions, natural fibers from agricultural wastes, such as coir fibers, have been increasingly used as an alternative in concrete composites. However, the influence of coir fibers on the hydration and shrinkage of cement-based materials is not clear.

On the Light-Weight Concrete Used Artifiial Light-Weight Aggregate
Recently, with the tendency to lighten structures coming out, some artificial light-weight aggregates having excellent qualities suitable for high strength structural use have come to be produced for trial.We tested these artificial light-weight aggregates and light-weight concrete using these aggregates, and further, checked up the effects of these ...

Replacement of Conventional Concrete by Light Weight Concrete
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.
