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

Feasibility Study of Expanded Clay Aggregate Lightweight Concrete for Nonstructural Applications [PDF]

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.

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.

Mechanical Properties of Light Weight Concrete using Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate

International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology, 2022
Abstract: This research investigates the impact of partially substituting coarse aggregate with light weight coarse material (LECA). In numerous aspects, LECA mirrors the properties of coarse aggregate. Because self-weight accounts for a major amount of the total load applied to the structure, LECA is utilized in concrete to lower the need for coarse ...

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE USING LIGHTWEIGHT EXPANDED CLAY AGGREGATE (LECA) AND EXPANDED PERLITE AGGREGATE (EPA)

, 2020
AbstractIn pursuit of reducing the dead-weight of precast concrete structures, one approach is by adopting lightweight concrete. EN 13369:2013 specifies a minimum cube compressive strength of at least 18 MPa for the lightweight concrete to be eligible for use in reinforced precast concrete products.
