Olive pomace based lightweight concrete, an experimental approach and contribution

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Due to conventional aggregates resources depletion, material recycling has become an economic and ecologic alternative. In this paper, locally available natural residues such as olive pomace were investigated, when partially incorporated in the concrete ...

Lightweight self-compacting concrete: A review

Resources, Conservation & Recycling Advances, 2022
Owing to the favorable properties of self-compacting concrete and light-weight aggregate concrete, the development of self-compacting concrete is an engineering excellence, although its application in civil engineering is limited due to a lack of in-depth research.

Ductility and brittleness of lightweight aggregate concrete structures

, 2021
Lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) has been used in construction since ancient Greek and Roman times, for more than two thousand years. With its low density, it was mainly used to reduce the weight of the structures.

Study on splitting tensile strength of interface between the full lightweight ceramsite concrete and ordinary concrete

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2023
As a common lightweight aggregate concrete, the full lightweight ceramsite concrete has a very good engineering prospect, especially in the repair and reinforcement of existing concrete buildings. However, there were few studies on this aspect.
