Lightweight aggregate concrete is an innovative building material used to reduce the self-weight of a high-rise building. Recently, use lightweight in construction increasing immensely due its performance during earthquake. (LWAC) solution for achievement sustainability sector, which helps us cut down overall cost project massive work (tall buildings and bridges). Additionally, using various in...

The paper presents the results of testing performance lightweight structural concrete containing hemp shives as an aggregate. It has been analysed how higher binder content and use Portland cement affect thermal microbiological properties concrete. aggregates plant origin are incompatible because chemical compounds, dissolved in water or alkaline environment, inhibit hydration. To avoid this, m...

This paper was conducted to study the behavior of lightweight concrete, incorporating local lightweight aggregate (LWA), in terms of chloride ion permeability at different ages. The effect of lightweight fine aggregate replacement by normal weight sand (0, 25, 50 and 75% by volume) was investigated. Constant level of silica fume content (10% by weight of cement) as an addition was also consider...
