Abstract:

Abstract Lightweight concretes are increasingly being used in the construction industry, either for the overall lightweighting of the structure itself, reducing material consumption for construction and thus CO2 emissions, or for specific reasons such as improving the thermal insulation properties of the structure or acoustic properties. Today, lightweight concretes with lightweight expanded aggregates (expanded clay, agloporite) are most commonly used. This paper deals with the production of lightweight concretes lightweighted with foamed glass-based aggregates. Foamed glass is a lightweight

Abstract:

Plastic is a widely consumed material with a high decomposition time, occupying significant space in landfills and dumps. Thus, strategies to reuse plastic waste are imperative for environmental benefit. Plastic waste is a promising eco-friendly building material for cement-based composites due to its reduced specific gravity and thermal conductivity. However, this waste reduces the composites’ mechanical strength. This work aims to produce and evaluate lightweight concretes made with only lightweight aggregates and mostly recycled plastic aggregates. Initially, an optimized dosage approach fo

Abstract:

The use of structural lightweight concrete in the construction industry is on the rise in the last few decades mainly because of the higher strength per unit density, as it reduces the total deal load of the structural elements as compared with normal strength concrete. In addition, the environmental concerns of the concrete industry have gained supreme importance in recent times, demanding vital and effectual steps. In this regard, the current study was carried out to formulate an alternative approach for producing a sustainable lightweight structural concrete. The study followed two stages:

Abstract:

The work studied the use of special concrete, specifically lightweight concrete, by incorporating pumice as a natural aggregate. One significant disadvantage of nominal concrete is its high dead load, or self-weight, which makes it economically inefficient as a structural material. In contrast, lightweight concrete, with its low density, offers advantages such as reduced dead loads and improved thermal insulation. This reduced density is achieved by partially replacing the coarse aggregate with pumice in the concrete mix. The investigation aimed to compare nominal concrete with lightweight con

Abstract:

Lightweight concrete has the main characteristic of a lower density value than normal concrete, which ranges from 1400 to 1850 kg/m3 (ACI 213R) [1]. While density values generally show a decreasing trend along with decreasing mechanical properties. This type of lightweight concrete still needs to be improved in its application to elements that function but do not withstand loads (non-structural) due to its low mechanical properties. The main objective of producing lightweight concrete is its density. In contrast, another objective is the mechanical properties related to the use of lightweight

Abstract:

The influence of two lightweight aggregates (LWA) on concrete and the effects of cement substitution for nanosilica (NS) on the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) and cementitious matrix of concrete in resistance to attacks by magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) are researched in this work. The aggregates evaluated were perlite, which is a lightweight aggregate of open porous structure, and expanded clay (aliven) with closed porous structure. The variables included in the study were replacement percentage of coarse aggregates by lightweight coarse aggregates (0 and 100% by volume) and replacement percent

Due to low values of mechanical properties of lightweight concrete , lightweight concrete is rarely used in structural members in buildings or structures , the lowest value of compressive strength can be used for concrete is 17 MPa, thus this investigation  deals with improving the mechanical properties of two types of lightweight concrete , the first type is lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC), and the second is no-fines concrete  (NFC).The results show that adding steel fibers lead to high increment in flexural and tensile strength in NFC, the flexural strength increased from low

Different structural lightweight concrete mixtures of specific density and strength classes were produced by using various lightweight aggregates (LWAs) such as pumice, perlite, and rice husk ash. Their properties were evaluated in fresh and hardened states with regards to compressive strength and durability parameters such as water absorption (open porosity and capillary absorption), chloride’s penetration resistance, and carbonation depth. According to the results, most LWA concrete mixtures performed satisfactorily in terms of the designed strength and density and they could be used as stru

Abstract:

The use of waste materials as lightweight aggregates in concrete is highly recommended in seismic risk areas and environmentally recommended. However, reaching the strength needed for the concrete to be used structurally may be challenging. In this study four dosages were assayed: the first two-specimen had high cement content (550 and 700 kg/m3 respectively), Nanosilica, fly ash and superplasticizer. These samples were high performance, reaching a strength of 100MPa at 90 days. The other two mixtures were identical but replaced 48% of the aggregates with recycled lightweight aggregates (30% p

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

Abstract:

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

Structural lightweight concrete is preferred over traditional concrete due to its ability to reduce the dead load, minimize the size of load-bearing structural members, and provide more economical solutions for foundation deteriorations. This research sheds light on sustainable lightweight concrete using waste crushed clay bricks (CCB) as a lightweight aggregate. To reduce micro-crack propagation of the developed concrete, two types of fiber were implemented and investigated.

Abstract:

The low strength of lightweight aggregates diminishes the strength of lightweight concrete, and the concrete's fragility impedes the ductile behavior of structures subjected to seismic stresses. The use of reinforcing materials and fibers may increase the strength of lightweight concrete by compensating for the impact of reduced strength caused by the use of lightweight particles and preventing the rapid breakdown of concrete. The performance of the materials used is an effective determinant of structural member behavior. Therefore, for computational analysis of finite elements to accurately a

Abstract:

This paper investigates the feasibility of using pumice as a substitute for coarse aggregate in lightweight concrete, focusing on its strength and density characteristics. A significant drawback of conventional concrete lies in its substantial dead load, rendering it economically inefficient as a structural material due to its high self-weight. Lightweight concrete, characterized by a lower density, addresses this concern by reducing dead loads and enhancing thermal insulation. This research focuses on achieving density reduction by partially replacing coarse aggregate with pumice in concrete
