Mechanical properties of lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) concrete

Przegląd Naukowy Inżynieria i Kształtowanie Środowiska, 2022
The construction activities are based on structural concrete, which is one of the most commonly used materials. The fundamental aim of using lightweight concrete (LWC) was to reduce the concrete self-weight of the structure parts.

Physical and Mechanical Properties of Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA) [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Lightweight aggregate is the generic name of a group of aggregates having a relative density lower than normal aggregates (natural sand, gravel, and crushed stone), sometimes is referred to as low density aggregate. Depending on the source and the method

The dependence of the physical mechanical properties of expanded-clay lightweight concrete on the composition

Mokslas: Lietuvos Ateitis, 2010
Binder material is the most expensive raw component of concrete; thus, scientists are looking for cheaper substitute materials. This paper shows that when manufacturing, a part of the binder material of expanded-clay lightweight concrete can be replaced ...

Feasibility Study of Expanded Clay Aggregate Lightweight Concrete for Nonstructural Applications

Advances in Civil Engineering
In nonstructural infill panels, common materials like expanded polystyrene panels face fire susceptibility, autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) incurs high production costs, and traditional bricks come with a significant carbon footprint and weight.

The Influence of Expanded Glass and Expanded Clay on Lightweight Aggregate Shotcrete Properties [PDF]

Materials, 2022
In the construction industry, the selection of sustainable materials leads to a movement towards more sustainable construction. In this study, lightweight aggregate shotcrete based on expanded glass (EG) and expanded clay (EC) is investigated. The goal of the study is to determine the influence of EG and EC inclusion on the properties of shotcrete ...

Modelling of Projectile Penetration into Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate [PDF]

Journal of Dynamic Behavior of Materials, 2016
This work presents a phenomenological model for estimating projectile penetration into granular lightweight expanded clay aggregate often known as Lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA). Laboratory scale penetration experiments in the low-velocity regime performed using LECA are presented. A penetration model based on the mass and momentum balances
