Lightweight expanded clay aggregate properties based on laboratory testing
Construction and Building Materials, 2021 Abstract Lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) is a manufactured aggregate with many uses in construction, such as aggregate for the lightweight concrete or like geotechnical fill. The properties of the material may vary depending on the manufacturer or the applications envisaged for the aggregate.

Effect of temperature curing on lightweight expanded clay aggregate concrete
Materials Today: Proceedings, 2021 Abstract Lightweight Aggregate Concrete is usually a mix of Lightweight Aggregates and admixtures. This paper is focused on use of Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA) for the development of structural Lightweight Concrete. The present investigation was carried out by replacing LECA with 30% of Normal Weight Aggregate (NWA) with different water
