Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA) as replacement materials for geotechnical application

Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, 2023
Settlement is a common geotechnical problem occurs in soft soils. The replacement method is the easiest way to improve this problematic soil. This technique is carried out by removing the unwanted part of the soil and replacing it with a more suitable material or soil.

Utilization of expanded clay aggregates in sustainable lightweight geopolymer concrete

Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management, 2020
The lightweight sustainable construction composites prepared with the waste materials are enormously utilized for the construction activities. The geopolymer concrete (GPC) has emerged as the sustainable construction composite and holds potential to get modified as the lightweight composite.

Methodology for the Design of Lightweight Concrete with Expanded Clay Aggregates

The Masonry Society Journal, 2005
The increasing use in Portugal of masonry blocks composed of lightweight concrete with expanded clay aggregates emphases the need to optimize the mix design in order to achieve desired concrete properties. To date, the research on these lightweight concretes has been of limited value because the specificities of their production with vibrant-compressor

The application of sewage sludge as an expanding agent in the production of lightweight expanded clay aggregate mass

Environmental Technology, 2011
Sewage sludge can be used as an expanding agent in the production of lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) mass. The addition of sewage sludge increases the total porosity and decreases the bulk density of a sinter. The addition of sewage sludge to a raw material used in the production of LECA enabled a decrease in the burning temperature for the ...

Lightweight masonry mortars made with expanded clay and recycled aggregates

Construction and Building Materials, 2016
Abstract One of the most extensive applications of recycled construction and demolition waste is as recycled aggregate in substitution of natural aggregate. An application for the fine fraction is investigated in this study by preparing lightweight mortars with different types of fine recycled aggregate from concrete waste and rubble.

Lightweight expanded clay aggregate as a building material – An overview

Construction and Building Materials, 2018
Abstract LECA is the abbreviation of lightweight expanded clay aggregate. LECA is produced from special plastic clay with no or very little content of lime. The clay is dried, heated and burned in rotary kilns at 1100–1300 °C. LECA is porous ceramic product with a uniform pore structure with almost potato shape or round shape due to the kiln circular

Self-compacting lightweight concrete produced with expanded clay aggregate

Construction and Building Materials, 2012
Abstract The objective of this paper is to characterize self-compacting concretes produced with lightweight aggregates (SCLC) available in the Iberian Peninsula. The influence of different compositions on the self-compactability of SCLC is analyzed and some limits are suggested for their formulation.
