2 Lightweight - Aggregate Concretes in Compression

چکیده
One research field in Leipzig deals with the design of high strength lightweight-aggregate concretes (HSLWAC). Due to the huge waveband of this concretes with all possible combinations of lightweight-aggregates and mortar matrix the formulation of general rules is difficult. Therefore both components lightweight-aggregates and mortar matrix will be investigated in detail in order to achieve a deeper understanding of the internal stress transfer and the failure mechanisms. Moreover the results of the components tests serve as input data for a computer simulation. This instrument should support the prediction and optimization of the compressive strength of LWAC.

The subject of the investigation was the influence of pre-wetted lightweight aggregate on damage of the concrete surface due to cyclic freezing and thawing in the presence of de-icing salts tested according to the Swedish Standard SS 13 72 44 (the Borås method). Six series of concrete specimens were made with the same water/binder (w/b) ratio 0.32, cement volume 400 kg/m and content of superpla...

متن کاملPrediction 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...
