Effect of lightweight aggregates on the mechanical properties and brittleness of lightweight aggregate concrete

Construction and Building Materials, 2012
Abstract The influence of volume fraction and aggregate properties on the mechanical performance of lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) were studied. A new Shape Index that described the shape characteristics of lightweight aggregate (LWA) has been proposed and its effects on resulting LWAC were evaluated.

Coconut shell as lightweight aggregate for manufacturing structural lightweight aggregate concrete

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2021
Utilization of concrete in construction industry has increased in last decades. Although, concrete has a lot of advantages, it is important to consider its negative impacts on environment. One of that negative impacts is depletion of natural resources.

Surface Modification of Lightweight Aggregate and Properties of the Lightweight Aggregate Concrete

2008
Structural lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) offers design flexibility and substantial cost savings by providing less dead load [1]. Because of higher water absorption of lightweight aggregate (LWA), process of mixing LWAC is more complex than that of normal weight concrete (NWC).

Penetrability of lightweight aggregate concrete

Magazine of Concrete Research, 2010
In this paper, a study was conducted on the parameters affecting the sorption of water, chloride ingress and permeability of water into lightweight aggregate concrete. The parameters being studied are the effects of the water-to-cement (w/c) ratio, aggregate type, initial moisture content of the lightweight aggregate, size of the lightweight aggregate,

Performance of Lightweight Concrete With Plastic Aggregate

International Journal of Multidisciplinary Engineering in Current Research, 2020
This study explores the use of recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic and robo sand to fabricate lightweight plastic coarse aggregates (PCA) for concrete. These PCAs were produced by melting HDPE plastic and mixing it with robo sand in a 1:3 ratio, forming aggregates sized 2.36 mm to 20 mm.

Bond strength of polymer lightweight aggregate concrete

Polymer Composites, 2013
Bond strength, physical, and mechanical properties of lightweight PC were investigated with inclusion of pumice lightweight aggregate in maximum size of 12 mm. As binder material, epoxy resin‐based polymer was used with its hardener. The binder to aggregate ratio was 30% by weight.
