Axial Load Enhancement of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete (LAC) Using Environmentally Sustainable Composites

چکیده
Salient features of lightweight aggregate concrete (LAC) include noticeable fire resistance, high strength-to-weight ratio, and low magnitude dead loads. Further, LAC has a cost, eases construction practices, possesses an environment-friendly nature. On the downside, substandard mechanical properties in comparison to normal concrete. Natural fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) have shown their potential ameliorating natural So far, no study been conducted assess efficacy hemp rope confinement strengthen especially comprising rectilinear sections. This aimed overcome nature LAC. A low-cost, sustainable, environmentally green solution form layers is proposed. Twenty-four square specimens were tested three groups depending upon presence quantity aggregates. It was found that constructed with aggregates demonstrated lower ultimate compressive strength strain as compared Hemp rope-confined showed enhanced strain. enhancement increase number layers. Several existing stress models assessed predict specimens. Only single model able reasonable accuracy.

Prediction of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete Compressive Strength
Nowadays, the better performance of lightweight structures during earthquake has resulted in using lightweight concrete more than ever. However, determining the compressive strength of concrete used in these structures during their service through a none-destructive test is a popular and useful method. One of the main methods of non-destructive testing in the assessment of compressive strength...
متن کاملProperties of Green Lightweight Aggregate Concrete
With increasing concern over the excessive exploitation of natural aggregates, synthetic lightweight aggregate produced from environmental waste is a viable new source of structural aggregate material. The uses of structural grade lightweight concrete reduce considerably the self-load of a structure and permit larger precast units to be handled. In this paper, the mechanical properties of a str...
متن کاملEffect of Cured Time on Creep of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete
Creep and shrinkage are such properties that will occur in concrete when they are under load and exposed to surrounding. Since this property will cause deformation which may decrease the design strength of the concrete, it is necessary to do have more knowledge on this phenomenon. So, we will study the effect of creep on 7 and 14 days of cured time of specimens which sealed or unsealed will be ...
متن کاملFlashag – New Lightweight Aggregate for High Strength and Durable Concrete
A new patented lightweight aggregates is tested. This type is given the name Flashag. The only solid raw material used to manufacture these aggregates is fly ash. The aggregates are sintered but not pelletized and the process is easy and inexpensive. This paper describes these patented aggregates and compares them with other lightweight and normal-weight aggregates that are used for concrete. T...
