Lightweight Concrete with Waste - Review

Using Waste Marbles in Self Compacting Lightweight Concrete

Abstract—In this study, the effects of waste marbles as aggregate material on workability and hardened concrete characteristics of self compacting lightweight concrete are investigated. For this purpose, self compacting light weight concrete are produced by waste marble aggregates are replaced with fine aggregate at 5%, 7.5%, and 10% ratios. Fresh concrete properties, slump flow, T50 time, V fu...

Beneficial Reuse of Locally-available Waste Materials as Lightweight Aggregate in Lightweight Concrete

Lightweight Geopolymer Concrete with EPS Beads

Activation of class F fly ash with the 10 M sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate and its geopolymeric products were analysed under quasi-isothermal mode of DSC, FTIR and TG/DTA techniques. Before adding in concrete, expanded polystyrene beads were prewetted with the styrenebutadienestyrene latex aimed at to improve their bonding with geopolymer. Lightweight mortars/concretes were made from geop...

Materials, Production, Properties and Application of Aerated Lightweight Concrete: Review

Aerated lightweight concrete have many advantages when compared with conventional concrete such as advanced strength to weight ratio, lower coefficient of thermal expansion, and good sound insulation as a result of air voids within aerated concrete. This paper is attention to classified of aerated lightweight concrete into foamed concrete and autoclaved concrete. Also, it is exhibits the raw ma...

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...
