Sep 19,  · However, the lightweight concrete mix design is di erent from conventional concrete. Using the conventional mix design will give rise to material segregation, as well as lower the strength by reducing the weight of aggregate. To avoid this problem, the mix design of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) was used for lightweight concrete

Jun 08,  · Cellular or Aerated Concrete. This type of lightweight concrete is the result not just of the product, but also of the process. It is produced by introducing tiny air pockets into the concrete mixture. This can be done through a chemical reaction produced by using hydrogen peroxide

Date: 5/1/2000. Abstract: The main objective of the present research was to develop a general proportioning methodology for structural sand-lightweight concrete (SLC). The study considers the lightweight aggregate concrete as a two-phase material. The first one, composed of cement, water and siliceous natural sand is called the resistant phase

2.1 Concrete microstructure characterization and performance comparison. This research study had four objectives: (1) To investigate the bonding between coarse aggregates and cement paste; (2) To evaluate fresh SCC test methods - slump flow and U-tube; (3) To compare NC and SCC splitting tensile strength and compressive strength; and (4) To visualize the distribution of coarse aggregate in

About. Computers and Concrete is An International Journal that focuses on the computer applications in be considered suitable for publication in the journal.The journal covers the topics related to computational mechanics of concrete and modeling of concrete structures including:- plasticity- fracture mechanics- creep- thermo-mechanics- dynamic effects- reliability and safety concepts

The following is a design guide for selecting proportions for initial concrete mix design for normal weight concrete. This guide references ACI 211.1-91 (Reapproved ), "Standard Practice for Selecting Proportions for Normal, Heavy weight, and Mass Concrete", specifically Chapter 6, "Procedure" and Appendix 1, "Metric (SI) System

A study has been conducted in which a lightweight concrete was processed using ceramic microspheres, known as cenospheres, as a primary aggregate. The mechanical properties, including compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength and fracture toughness, were tested and cataloged. It was determined that the addition of high volumes of cenospheres significantly lowered the density of

producers may still proportion lightweight concrete mixtures using relationships between w/cm and strength or durability. Lightweight concrete is typically air-entrained to achieve lower density. Air content of structural lightweight concrete must be closely controlled to ensure that the required density is being achieved.

Oct 01,  · The thermal conductivity of the lightweight concrete mixtures in the hardened state ranges between 0.22 and 0.67 W/m K for the dry specimens and between 0.60 and 1.33 W/m K for the specimens cured under water. The density of these mixtures is 25–63% lower as compared to that of the reference mixtures (without PUR-foam aggregates).

Aug 28,  · Concrete is a mixture widely used in the construction industry due to the union between its mechanical properties with the low cost for its production. The application of X-ray microtomography in lightweight concrete structures allows the visualization of the layout and formation of existing internal structures.

Jul 07,  · In this study, in order to develop a lightweight concrete (compressive strength of 20 N/mm 2) using the aggregate, experiments were performed to a) determine the proper proportion of concrete mixture, and b) evaluate both high temperature resistance and freeze-thaw resistance. From the test results, the following conclusions were obtained.

Jul 10,  · To reduce air pollution of straw burning, and also to improve the ratio of straw comprehensive utilization, this paper presents a lightweight concrete with straw based on the mix proportion research. Firstly, the mix proportion of lightweight ceramsite concrete was designed by a volumetric method. Then, a series of lightweight ceramsite concrete mix proportion experiments were conducted to

much higher proportion of adhered mortar. Therefore, the original concrete, the recycling sion criterion was the fact that the characterization of the aggregates used should be shown, both for natural and recycled aggregates, and this character- of lightweight material at 1%, of asphalt at 1% and finally, the sum of other materials like

Lightweight geopolymer concrete specimens exhibited a brittle behavior with a weakened structure due to low-strength lightweight aggregates. Lightweight geopolymer concrete made with dune sand and a fly ash to slag ratio of 3 ∶ 1 resulted in the highest compressive strength when cured for 24 h at 60°C.
