Abstract This paper investigates the incorporation of bio-based aggregate in lightweight foam concrete (LWFC). The aim this research is to determine strength and acoustics properties foamed incorporating 5% (LWFC-OPS5). A targeted density 1100 +/- 100 kg/m 3 LWFC-OPS5 produced achieved a compressive MPa. total six mixes containing different water cement (w/c) ratios 0.52, 0.56 0.60 with 0% OPS ...

Day to day a large development in construction activities are happening. All constructions require huge quantity of concrete. we know that conventional concrete has density 2400 kg/m3.This type is not at all required aspects. So new era concretes developed solve more problems. In general Components buildings have kg/m3. high rise the components size. Thus, by making lighter, needs lesser while ...

Intrinsically, lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) suffers from the low compressive strength and deformation capacity. This restricts use of LWAC mainly to non-structural applications. Several studies have highlighted potential synthetic fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jackets for improving substandard properties LWAC. However, high costs associated with FRP are generally a concern. study iden...
